It isn't a hard dependency. It isn't a dependency at all. Dependencies
are for code that must be incorporated into the executable, or linked
to it. This is a build-dependency; a different concept.

That's just silly. Sensible people will build it as Masaru suggests
until Luigi's suggestion is incorporated. You and any other people with
similar limitations can just ignore it. Most people can happily
understand the notion of having more than one version of a
compiler/interpreter on their system at once.
