Description
If pip is installed on the system executing dependency-check one will likely be able to get better dependency information by calling `pip freeze`.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how dependency-check gathers dependency information on the system executing it, then determine how pip availability and pip freeze output can be evaluated. Compare the proposed output with the existing dependency information; done means pip freeze is used when available and dependency results remain correct when it is not.
