Other packages I know get around this problem by putting version  
infomation into a proper version.txt file inside the actual code  
folder and then reading it out to get at the value inside the toplevel  
setup.py. If there's no specific reason why this is bad I'd suggest  
that here as well.

The dependency should be in setup.py and DEPENDENCIES.txt inside  
CMFCore, it already exists there, I looked. I'm in favor of removing  
the hack on the CMFCore trunk.
