And what I'd also like to do is optionally specify a particular version of the library. For example, the current version of libusb-win32 is somehow broken when I want to talk to my LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT in SAMBA mode, but the previous 10.x version works fine. So something like setup [optional parameters] -p pkgFoo pkgBar pkgThis pkgThat and have all the dependent packages automagicallly loaded. What would the syntax for a particular version be? setup [optional parameters] -p pkgFoo:version-string Comments?
