Yes, I think you're right.  If select was 'smart', then the whole
issue kind of goes away.  But as you say, that is a hard problem.

In the mean time, I'd be satisfied with a solution that punted out an
error at configure time if select requirements did not get met.  I
should look at the patch Catalin posted.
