This is related to the conversation I had earlier with Andreas about
loosening up the dependencies. The proposal I made there would cover
this case fine, I just need to find time to implement it.
In the meantime, let me emphasize that the dependency mechanism in
Monticello is (at least for now) *only* intended to be used between
packages that are all controlled from a single source. Having SmaCC
depend (explicitly, in MC) on Refactory is bad because those two
packages are not maintained by the same people and are not released in
sync. That would be more appropriately handled by an SM dependency
(once such a thing exists).
