No it does not as Christ has confirmed.

And the messages should clearly show their severity. I use prefixes of Info: Warn: and Error: myself.

I have code in MEINC_Installer (http://sourceforge.net/projects/meinc-installer/) that knows which
imports are version and platform specific to filter out the noise you get when all missing imports
are printed.

See http://meinc-installer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/meinc-installer/trunk/MEINC_Installer/Common/check_warning_file.py?revision=9&view=markup

This script is run over the output of MEINC installer to only tell you about genuine missing imports.
