Wouldn't this cause severe problems with copywrite and licensing? Just because you have a copy of some library on a machine doesn't mean you have the ability to duplicate it to another machine, let alone archive it for future researchers. I could also see the possible issue of pulling in GPL licensed libraries, and the general theory is if you ship a package with GPL licensed code in it, your code must be GPL. There's a fine line between "sending along someone else's libraries" and becoming a monolithic executable containing someone else's libraries - and between those points is where GPL gets you.
