Unfortunately, none of the current Python installation tools
(easy_install, pip, others?) actaully use the `Requires` field that
this populates [1,2], and it's gone since PEP 345, replaced by
`Requires-Dist` [2,3,4]. Eventually a new packaging library
(distutils2, packaging, distlib, ...) will land in the Python standard
library and we can use whatever interface it provides for specifying
dependencies [5].
