I am talking about this:

As I told I do not know how difficult can it be to automate so if it 
would be a lot of work then of course you should not put too much work 
into it.
BTW text like "the dependency check will fail if you don't have a 
DISPLAY set" does not mean too much for Windows people like me (I did 
manage to google the answer so it was not a question).
