@todo:
 - Decide on a proper way to store the version number in a single place
 - Extend this to also produce a working install.
   (Currently just for the "develop" command)
 - Figure out how to properly handle install_requires for things which don't
   always install the requisite metadata for normal detection.
 - Identify minimum dependency versions properly.
 - Figure out how to mark optional packages as optional.
