incompatible dependencies

Hi,

we have some libraries which may not used together.

For instance, 
- say we have module A-1.0, A-2.0, B and C. 
- B doesn't have a dependency on A, but B cannot be used together with A-1.0. However, B can be used together with A-2.0.
- C has a dependency on both B and A-1.0

What is the best way to configure Ivy so that it fails when I try to resolve the dependencies of module C?
Manual checking this in Ant after a resolve could be an option, but I want to enforce this in IvyDE as well...

regards,
Maarten

The only way I see with current Ivy implementation is to register a custom
Trigger on the EndResolveEvent and throw an exception if the resolve report
contains both B and A-1.0. Not a beautiful solution, but should work.

Otherwise we'd need to introduce a new syntax in Ivy files to declare the
incompatibility. Would be nice, but requires work on Ivy.
