request: recursive install #58

When I say mpm install buzcode I want the requirements.txt file in buzcode to be read and those packages to be installed, and then for those packages I want the requirements.txt file to be read and installed...

Do you think this is something mpm could do?

Yeah I think something like this could be done. This is probably a sort of pandora's box (actually trying to manage installations), but definitely possible.

I'm interested in this as well. Slightly related -- you might need some sort of dependency resolution (e.g., A needs C > v1.0.0, B needs C > v1.1.0). Happy to contribute if we can find a path.
