Enable :version to refer to sub-modules version and not the version of the currently building project #29

Currently :version in dependency versioning refers to the current sub-module's version, which is fine when all submodules are in sync with each other.

In a world where subprojects have differnt versions however this breaks.

It would be really nice that if lein-modules sees a :version it tries to find that project in its source tree and substitutes that version in and then if it cant find it then falls back to the modules version by default.

This should be 100% compatible with what is happening currently, however it would also enable clever version tracking of submodule dependencies which are not all the same.

Good idea, thanks! I'll try to look into this soon.

Alex, you can install that #29 branch locally just to see if it addresses your needs, but I'm hesitant to release it as it impacts performance quite a bit.

Thanks Jim, Ill either test it today or first thing tomorrow and get back to you ASAP

Jim, I now have the stack working fine using this SNAPSHOT. Could this version be released and pushed to clojars.

Many thanks, its really appreciated.
