Sure.   I was just wondering why.   As you know my personal preference 
is to be able to automatically bring up the build environment and then 
do the complete build all the way to the dry run simulating the release 
(otherwise you cannot test it).  Bringing in non-Java dependencies 
complicates this unnecessarily, and tie you to a given platform.

But again, this is your project and  you can do as you like :)

For now, no.  Such things needs to be done "just-in-time" by the person 
who needs it.
