The dependancies fall into 3 camps:

1:
ruby
dnsruby
ldns
libxml2
botan
cunit
cucumber

2: things like gcc, gnu autotools and various compatibility libraries depending on OS.

3: SoftHSM.

My initial thoughts are that anything where we support multiple versions (e.g. if we supported ruby18 and ruby19 and jruby) or if the version changes often then we should have jenkins install it. At the moment there are only single versions of group 1 listed in the documentation and I have no feel for how much this list changes.

group 2 should use distribution defaults.

SoftHSM is currently built from trunk on every run of the build/test tree. Do we need to support older versions?

WDYT?

(PS, multiple ruby support should be easy to do with rvm)
