yes, with dependencies I meant Python libs and the Python version.

There was some rather lengthy discussions before we arrived at the
current OK situation.

There were incompatible changes in the last months and I would really
like to have a proper review process for larger changes in general.

And I think it must be clear that the top priority must be to stay
compatible. If I write a howto now, I want that it still works in 2 
years.

That doesn't mean there shall be no new features, just not breaking 
changes.

Like we do it with Frameworks and Co. or how CMake handles that.

The build tool shall not require the user to fixup the config without
really good reasons.
