I thought I'd discussed this with someone before, but can't find it anywhere.. It'd be nice if an IDE can execute flutter doctor and provide info to the user when there are problems.

The current output isn't too bad for parsing, but it could be fragile if there are changes or if it becomes interactive and starts expecting input.

It'd be good to have a new switch (eg. --machine) that'll give output in a consistent format. Another possibility is adding it as a command to flutter daemon, however I don't know if the daemon can actually run if there are missing pre-requisites, so maybe that's not a good idea!
