Hurray! Our first dependency processing bug! This is cool because it
means that people are finally doing enough things with setuptools to have real-life version conflict scenarios. Luckily, the fix is trivial: use breadth-first instead of depth-first dependency processing, which I thought we were already doing anyway, but weren't. And we were giving precedence to already-installed packages, which means upgrades didn't work so well. --HG-- branch : setuptools extra : convert_revision : svn%3A6015fed2-1504-0410-9fe1-9d1591cc4771/sandbox/trunk/setuptools%4041265
