This is actually a known issue, and one I had hoped to have time to
address for RC1.  It even got as far as an explicit promise to do
exactly that at the bottom of BUILD_SYSTEMS.txt.  I just haven't had
time to look into the practical details.  We would do the same with ldap
dev libaries (so that any build with waf would be an ADS build, for
similar reasons), libxattr and a few other 'optional' thing that you
don't want to skip on a modern unix.
