I have some ideas on how to do transitive dependencies right, but those will
have to wait for after the 1.3.  It's a pretty big deal and something I'd
like to see as the main focus for 1.4 (along with version matching and OSGi
support).

The transitive method is still marked as experimental, it's supposed to
carry us until we get real transitive support, so it should be fixed but
can't hold the release.

The quick workaround until we get to test and fix it, is to fake the missing
artifact/POM:
