There are two types of dependency declarations that can be useful.
Number one, is a file that tells people who want to install something 
which other packages need to be installed. This can be done in the 
global INSTALL.txt.

The other is a way to declare for installation software, such as 
CMFQuickInstaller, which packages installer must be run before this 
package's installer. A text file is not a good solution for that, it 
should be something with a strict syntax that have well defined ways of 
being interpreted. That means Python.

So, I think that the dependencies should be declared in INSTALL.txt and 
DEPENDENCIES.txt can be scrapped.
