Summary

As a user I want to have a way to test external package detection so to avoid regressions on known use cases.

Rationale

Currently we have unit-tests to verify compiler detection from known output. As an example:

When compiler are moved from internal Compiler classes to packages, detection of the compilers on the system will be delegated to external package detection. It is thus necessary to:

1. Define a way to test external package detection
2. Port the current unit-test

to ensure that the new detection mechanism is as reliable as the old one.
