I had a bit of a déjà vu: see thread "New Default Configuration Options 
for 4.4" :-)

+1 for having them in a central place, although we must take care that 
the checks can be performed at all points. E.g. first the check for 
required PHP modules must be done before any other checks can be done. 
And DBAL must be loaded before to influence the required modules test.

So, it will be fun to make a monkey proof construction.

Hmm... this can be a subject of quite a bit of discussion to agree on 
the minimum and recommended settings.
