Upping priority. So many other bugs and features depend on this.

#262 - check for required foreign libraries

We're getting confused about dependencies here. This ticket is about dependencies between modules and files within a single package, not dependencies between packages or dependencies of packages on foreign libs.

So #216 #177 and #262 are not relevant to this ticket.

Changing the ticket title to try and reduce confusion over what kind of dependencies we're talking about.

As a potential user of this feature, we in the darcs world are mostly interested in this because we want to do parallel builds (like make -j)
