As the title say. It could probably useful to have a syntax/keyword to specify 
when the module depends on something that is not another perl6 module. 
Including the version/other

There is multiple use for that:
Installer can warn the user/admin that they will need something else in order 
for the module to work.
Tools like dh-make-perl (a debian tools that build .dpkg from cpan/source) 
could add this as dependency if needed.

Could be like:
extern-depends { "C:libfoo:ver<3.*>", "Python:bar:ver<2.1.2>" }
