In fact, the resolving is done on server-side for CUDF. That's why we use
the resolve context to be able to ask the resolution for each specific
configuration.

We want to use this format to be able to generate resolution Q&A so that
client side doesn't have to care about conflicts.

We are working to modify that to be able to send all the dependencies set
in a configuration to have the list of all dependencies needed for the
configuration (1st-level and transitive deps).

We want to make one resolution question for each configuration of ivy file.

Resolution is done on server side. The "list" of dependencies the client
gets is conflict-less.

Look at how the OSGi support was implemented. First the mapping :
