Would it make any sense for LilyPond in general to be able to report 
dependencies in a manner similar to FFmpeg and ImageMagick?  Granted, 
those projects can be built for myriad configurations, so it is 
essential to be able to know what libraries are compiled in.  However, 
with Guile 3 on the horizon too, it could be wise for LilyPond to 
indicate the specific versions being used for any dependency, including 
GhostScript and Cairo.  Such a solution would then be part of the core 
distribution.
