This is at least the intuitive place for this information. My
application requires Grok 0.11, which requires zope 3.4.0b2 which then
would be a package that doesn't contain any code, just requirements of
eggs that in turn has requirements of their own. I'm not even sure
this *is* different from how the unices does it, but it just seems the
obvious way of doing it. I would be interested in knowing if this has
drawbacks.
