It is possible to do an efficient global check of dependencies files:

fgrep ZLib /Programs/*/*/Resources/Dependencies |cut -d / -f 3 |uniq

First hit is a little slow but later hits are cached.  Better to be
slow on this somewhat rare operation than walk the ENTIRE dep tree for
every change in /Programs.  There are only hundreds of dependencies
files.
