Hi guys!

Sometimes, even if the spell which is in optional_depends, is installed, I still want this specific dependency to be disabled (e.g. php couldn't depend on mm when built for apache2). Optional_depends enables such dependencies automatically, so in my case, php doesn't cast. Does it sound like a good option if sorcery introduces another parameter to optional_depends, "y/n"-style, and asks an admin about each `optional_depends' spell whether s/he wants current spell to depend on it or not? E.g., in my case, if php has `optional_depends mm', I'd be asked if I want mm's instructions "--with-mm" in my $OPTS or not, no matter if mm is installed. I hope you get the point :-).
Thanks!

Sergey.
