and I changed the subject because I'm responding to a side-note and

Gump really only wants to be a continuous integration system, not a
nightly build system.  And as such, it must ignore the version
dependencies.

If a project doesn't want to be integrated against the latest version
of another project, that's a different issue - but probably only means
it shouldn't really be part of a Gump build anyway because Gump would
be the wrong system then.
