Well, optional_depends sets the default answer to "y" if the
dependency is already installed, so you just have to press <ENTER>.

Another idea would be to create a CONFIGURE file for the module and
check the output of "lvu installed $MODULE", but that's rather messy
and should not be used, as far as I understood.
