I am very interested! I asked a question on this list and on stack overflow ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5596002/is-there-a-way-to-specify-an-ivy-dependency-using-a-dynamic-revision-but-restric) a while back and it's clear something like this doesn't exist yet. There was one suggestion to use a pattern matcher but sadly I haven't had time to try it.
