0depend is just optional feature, for bundles that have
activity/0depend.xml file, while launching activity sugar(via 0install)
will download(or build, just 0install feature) all dependencies that
are mentioned in 0depend.xml and pass proper info via environment variables
(PATH, PYTHONPATH etc) to activity startup.

only 0depend.xml makes sense(its just regular bundle file), if it exists,
shell will enable 0install integration.
