I allowed '|' and '&' to be somewhat compatible to Debian, which
already uses '|' in the dependencies.

And there's IF and THEN/ELSE. IF is a postfix op, like in perl
and ruby:

Requires: a IF b

THEN/ELSE is the infix one:

Requires: b THEN a
Requires: b ? a
Requires: b THEN a ELSE c
Requires: b ? a : c

Cheers,
