If you mean a table of all permitted dependency symbols, then that's a really 
bad idea because it would be (a) huge and (b) totally impossible to maintain.

If you mean a list of dependencies and versions we seek to support, then there 
is one which is version-controlled and automatically synchronised to the 
state of the source tree: the configure.ac files.  These are, contrary to 
popular belief, human readable.
