Versioning can be easily resolved by using urls like
www.dpan.org/dep?version=0.45 or www.dpan.org/dep-greaterthan-0.45.
Pro:
- scales from local dependencies to VPN sharing to package websites to
even dynamically generated source code
- simple implementation compilerwise
We will be very dependent on Walter or anyone else that knows the
compiler, which, as far as I know, are quite few. I'm not sure if
anything _is_ simple in the compiler.
