The tools framework is used to decide (a) whether the native version is
good enough and (b) if it is not, to add the right (BUILD_)DEPENDS.
The problem is deciding whether or not something is good enough. We are
able to normally avoid that question as it was a global choice in all
relevant cases so far.

We do not do fine grained detection as there was simply no point so far.
This is somewhat different from buildlink3's builtin.mk. Those are doing
the necessary checks in a number of cases.
