interesting.  not quite seeing the solution though - the challenge is getting the project dependencies _into_ the configuration from the extension.

Perhaps we can add the dependencies in that callback…

(to the receiver, not `project.dependencies`)

While promising this ultimately didn’t pan out - `withDependencies` is called too late; seeing log output “Tasks to be executed…” before `withDependencies` is invoked, resulting in project dependencies not being wired together and the inevitable failures.
atm have an afterEvaluate (ugh), thinking through alternate approaches…
