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?
