Maybe we can keep "name" the way it is (after all, it's the name of the
ModuleProvider, so it kind of makes sense that it matches its location)
and add a "dependencyName" property containing the full dependency name.

Incidentally, the following properties of the Depends item could also be
very useful to the module provider:

    submodules : stringList
    versionAtLeast : string
    versionBelow : string

maybe, then, it would make more sense to add a "dependencyInfo" property
as an object containing the three properties above, and the original
"name" from the Depends directive?

Ciao,
