I think it would be worth writing up a PEP to describe this, if it's to become a de-facto standard. That might be a better path towards standardization than just checking in the code... :-/

Setuptools users already explicitly declare what projects their projects depend on; this is how easyinstall can then find and install those dependencies. So, there is at least one system already available for Python that manages this type of thing already, and my understanding is that the py2exe and py2app developers plan to support using this dependency information in the future.
