Interesting idea. Babushka also reads deps from ./babushka_deps in  
whatever dir you're in, so maybe something similar could be achieved  
by checking in the deps with the project?

That sounds all too familiar. Macports is useless at upgrading  
packages, because it usually fails to resolve dependencies during an  
upgrade, or the old version conflicts with the new version.

I find it helps to think of macports not as a package manager at all,  
but rather as a tool that just automates building things from source.  
When you think of it like that, it actually does its job pretty well. :)
