I thought it worth mentioning that OSGi extends (in a compliant way) the
MANIFEST.MF to store very fine-grained transitive dependency information
(versioned java package level import/export expressions).  Tycho (the Maven
that builds OSGi bundles) is currently using this metadata for dependency
resolution - so I wouldn't assume the manifest wouldn't work.  A minor point
in the grand scheme of this discussion - I'll grant that :-).
