I don't think I want to add another configure option.  That just reduces
flexibility during development and will make it less likely that people
can or will run the tests.

Skipping tests because of missing dependencies is a standard behavior in
TAP test suites.  The alternative is that we make it a hard requirement.I'd be for that, but maybe next release.
