It should be possible to raise an exception when the dependency cannot 
be specified at run-time and add something to setup-plt (or a similar 
utility) that reads over all the files in all of the collections and 
fetches the needed modules (for the static requires). For dynamic 
requires, there could be a more ad-hoc solution; perhaps the info.ss 
file can specify additional dependencies or something.
