I agree with martin here. Your planned solution of not rebuilding the
files if the tools are not present may lead to serious problems if the
user modifies the source files and happens not to have the tools
around.

Moreover, requiring the build dependencies would allow you to drop the
generated files from the repository and rebuild them in your packaging
(source or binary) process.
