Another thing that is important to track is module dependencies.
Say, if I write a module Foo that depends on REXML, I should be
able to specify that in the module metadata as well.

Perhaps we can start gathering some requirements on the wiki
and once there’s consensus, put together a simple implementation.
Then, if it’s worthy, it’ll take hold and people will use it.
Otherwise, it’ll get abandoned and that’ll tell us something
about it’s necessity.

I’ll volunteer to take my current module and mutate it to fit this
set of requirements.
