I basically made a proof of concept while waiting for my automated tests to complete, so I
wouldn't trust my life on it :)
But it should work to some extent - just to demonstrate the idea.
Add the ability to detect/select existing dependencies/tools

Issue Type: Feature Request

It would be great if the installer allowed the user to use some of the required tools
they have already installed.
The idea is to detect if the dependencies are already present and let the user decide if
they want to use them, or install new ones. Also, it could let the user select the tools
themselves if they want to use a different installation than detected, etc.
The confirmation page we currently have looks like the place to put all this, since it
already displays most of the stuff that is going to get installed. Anyway, I have tried to
modify it and squeeze the controls in and this is how the selection turned out (imagine
the messages looking a bit smarter):
