i think this idea of integrating a dependency checker is another instance of solving a problem that:

a) doesn't exist yet
b) won't be a big deal

just let module developers keep their modules up to date with the latest libraries. period. if the module changes the library changes.
the downside is clear and small: extra code to load.
the upside is huge: fewer variables to account for, less clutter in the module code, fewer hurdles for potential module developers.

imagine asking a module developer for help with a dependency setup like the one outlined above? talk about a nightmare...
imagine the documentation: now, build a version check function to account for the fact that someone else might have already installed the library you integrated.

that would turn me off completely from building modules.

kiss.
