Just FYI -- package.el (the elisp side of ELPA) does handle dependencies.

There was a discussion a while ago on this list. RMS wanted to
restrict the available packages to those which had been assigned to
the FSF, but I did not agree with that.
I would reconsider my position if the Emacs maintainers were
interested -- I think it would be useful to Emacs users if there were
a simple, standard way to install and activate packages.
However, this would still not help you directly, because I think some
of the packages you want are not assigned. So, you would have to
solve that problem as well.
