We never have done sanity checks on all the unix command tools.
The sanity checks on the compilers usually involved finding the version
number and verifying it, but even then it might only result in a warning.
Over the past few years, most of the fatal sanity checks have been
relaxed to warnings to allow for maximum flexibility. Most compilers
and tools between Solaris, Windows, Linux, etc. are rather inconsistent
when it comes to getting their version string.
But I suppose we could always check for at least their existence.

Verifying the Linux package list is very difficult to maintain for all the
variations of Linux.

I'm open to solutions here.
