 > On install, these dependencies should be handeled in about the same way
 as the minimum required version restrictions (WP/PHP).

 > And we can't assume a plugin with unmet dependencies will never be
 installed. There are other ways. So this must also be checked before
 allowing activation (UI and API level), plus, maybe, even after
 activation, forcing an immediate deactivation.

 If you haven't tried the Plugin Dependencies feature plugin, you should.
 Look through the readme and the `test-plugins` folder too.

 Testing the plugin should answer most questions.
