Why? What is the point? Such "atypical" people presumably should have no difficulty in making sure
their homebrew or
macports things don't affect their LibreOffice build. We don't need to expand the configuration
space into several new
dimensions. We don't need a new set of bugs that can be seen only with a homebrew or macports
version X.Y of external
library Z.
Some of us work on other opensource projects on our Mac machines which happen to need MacPorts or
HomeBrew.
Having LibreOffice simply say "I refuse to build on this machine because you've already installed some other stuff" is
not very friendly.
