+1 for dependencies, but not so simple. Imagine what will happen when
django 1.0 is released and apps are starting poping up. On app may
require a specific version of another app, or is incompatible with a
specific app.
Apps sould define a __version__ in __init__.py wich sould be checked on
the dependencies check.
maybe a syntax like:
__dependencies__ = (('django.contrib.auth',
">=0.1,!=0.2"),('my.app.bla', "==0.3"))
would require a version of contrib.auth that is greater as 0.1 but not
0.2 and version 0.3 of bla :)
