How would it be possible to allow prerequisites in a range of _versions_? For 
instance, I may make a package that requires at least version 1.02 of another 
package (in conventional terms), but I know that version 1.23 of that package 
breaks mine. So I'd like to specify a dependency on one of a range of package 
versions (including ones I maybe haven't seen yet, and so wouldn't know the 
GUID of).
