There is a standard list per (version of) OS.  This is not identical for
all (versions of) OSes, simply because not everything is available
everywhere.

Things like Boost aren't as useful to have a system version installed
for as you may think, for testing if things work everywhere: you want to
test against a very specific version of Boost usually, or against
multiple versions.  You need multiple installations then.
