Sure. But in that case it is the business of the OS-specific packager
to ensure the appropriate dependencies are provided in an OS-specific
manager. Chicken by itself has no way to specify, except in prose,
what the non-Chicken dependencies of any given egg are, because there
are no universal names for these dependencies.
