I guess there are two ways of handling this:

1) Automatically add the dependency

or

2) Check for the lack of it and fail if it should be added

For better or worse we opted to go with #1. I wouldn't necessarily be totally 
opposed to changing to #2 if people feel it is cleaner (and it is, a little) 
but someone would actually have to do that work and then fix the resulting 
fallout.

Cheers,
Paul
