I think you're not asking the right question yet. A dependency solver is not something useful purely for development. You can use it in a lot of generation tasks that don't involve source code. The question I'd ask is, is there established Computer Science terminology for the problem a dependency solver addresses? That probably requires determining what kind of field the problem falls into. I have a hunch that that would be AI. I admit I have been too lazy to attempt answering the question myself, so I resorted to explaining how I would go about it. :-) Regards, -- Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."
