Why would they? To the extend that such functionality would be
required on WIndows, where it's far, far less common to use a myriad
of dependencies from different sources, it's handled by merge modules
and the installer, which are used to ensure consistent deployment of
dependencies, whilst keeping the installer self-contained and free of
user visible dependencies.
