Comment (by pmetzger):

 Side note: The OCaml OPAM people have a pretty rich language for
 specifying versions for platforms and dependencies. I'm not sure their
 syntax is worth stealing, but the ability to say things like "this
 requires a dependent package or platform not less than X in version and
 not greater than Y" is kind of cool. (When I work with opam, I long for
 many things that are built in to macports, and when I work with macports,
 I long for things built in to opam. opam's ability to specify versioning
 nicely is such a feature.)
