How is the version specified?  Is the tag name used?

Will it handle build dependencies?  I.e. if I create an autobuild tag for 
libaaa and also for application-aaa (with a build dependency on libaaa), will 
it submit the library build first?  Will it wait for it to finish before 
submitting the application build?

Personally, I would much rather the autobuilder dependency problem was fixed 
(with some method for submiting multiple packages with build dependencies and 
having them build in the right order, with the dependencies being satisfied) 
instead of this particular feature.

But I realise others may disagree!
