I thought about it but didn't do that for 2 reasons.
1. It's not generic. What about archlinux, bsd, ...
2. The package names might change on fedora, debian
Hmm maybe if I clarify the messages to the following:
configure: WARNING: libacl development library was not found or not usable.
configure: WARNING: GNU coreutils will be built without ACL support.
configure: WARNING: libselinux was found but selinux/selinux.h is missing.
configure: WARNING: GNU coreutils will be compiled without SELinux support.
configure: WARNING: libattr development library was not found or not usable.
configure: WARNING: GNU coreutils will be built without xattr support.
configure: WARNING: libcap development library was not found or not usable.
configure: WARNING: GNU coreutils will be built without capability support.
configure: WARNING: libgmp development library was not found or not usable.
configure: WARNING: GNU coreutils will be built without GMP support
cheers,
