they are in the catalog to be installed.

I just decided to check out the vcsrepo module and ran into a reoccurring and 
annoying bug within providers that keeps biting me.  The vcsrepo{} I added in 
my module has provider => svn.  I also include a package { "subversion" } in 
the same module.  However, because the provider checks BEFORE the catalog is 
run it immediately fails with no possibility for puppet to fix it.  I would 
like for puppet to either run the rest of the resources then attempt to rerun 
the ones requiring a specific provider or check the catalog to see if the 
provider requirement would be filled by a resource and then delay execution 
until that is met.  (I guess these goals are the same but the second is more 
elegant in that it actually checks for a solution rather than just delaying and 
trying again hopefully).

My mysql module does this too on new boxes - it won't do the package{mysql} 
because it tries to parse the mysql lib/ stuff up front.
