[Rock-dev] Autoproj : Have weak dependencies

[Sylvain Joyeux]

The general philosophy in autoproj is to enable all features that are
available on a given system, letting the user/caller to fine-tune if
he/she does not want some Once in a project, the manifest is shared so
the exclude is shared as well. If you want to tell your users, then
write a README with the relevant information.

a.k.a. WONTFIX
