Howto implement catalog feature dependency?

And another catalog related question: how do I implement
the catalog feature dependency? Too much words around this in
documentation and nothing concrete. How do I create a
dependency in such way that adding one of my BSP features
to os design will automatically include some other
dependent BSP features or just native CE features?
And of course it would be great to have dependency
explorer working with this features as well and showing
dependencies .

I'm getting again and again the same problem from
BSP to BSP with my customers. I have to explain
each time why for example they have to include
"Device Manager" feature to the os design in order
to use device drivers; why they need to add
"Graphics Shell" in order to see desktop; etc etc etc.

So I'm looking for a way to automate this process
using the catalog item dependencies. Eg. if user added
the "Compact Flash Support" feature from the BSP this
will force STOREMGR, MSPART, FATFS etc to be
added automatically to the OS design as well.

Many thanks for any input.
