Would be interesting to know.

Well, to me it seems like the right thing to do would be to specify the
dependencies needed within each project. If we rely on subprojects to
drag the dependencies in, then we are susceptible to changes in the
subproject affecting the parent project. That's how we do it for
autotools, right?
