For example, gaze orphan showed me that sdl_net is not needed anymore.
After dispel of sdl_net, dosbox didn't work anymore. The problem is,
that the dosbox ./configure uses sdl_net if it finds one during
compilation, but there is no way to disable it. So the correct way to do
DEPENDS file should be something like:

if spell_ok sdl_net; then
depends sdl_net
else
optional_depends sdl_net
fi

If we checked all libs and binaries after install, we might have good
chance of having perfect dependencies, no ?

That's what optional_depends is for, don't do if checks like that.
What you'd do is put 'if; then fi' in PRE_BUILD to modify the
configure script to not enable/find sdl_net if the user said 'n' to
sdl_net.
