</div>I'm not sure if this works fully yet though. Should the regexp match just the<br>
library name or the full path?<br>
<br>
I'm not quite sure how I would be meant to use GetPrerequisites to install<br>
some libraries. Also, the "system" detection seems to not work on Linux<br>
either.<br>
<br>
Presumably you'd welcome a patch on this stuff.<br>
