self.dependencies does not work properly accross different hooks

[Leo Iannacone]

It could be really useful to check for module dependencies every time a hook it's called.

for instance, I would like to do something like:

MyModule():
  __init__():
    ...
    self.dependecies = [Module1] // by default depends only on Module1

  pre_chroot():
  // wait for Module1
   ...
    self.dependecies += [Module2] // everything after pre_chroot will depends on Module2

  post_chroot():
  // wait for Module1 and Module2
  ...
  return

Moreover, to me they are not really "closed" dependencies, in the meaning the if they are enabled -> OK, it's cool... If not, never mind, continue my job.

A simple workaround is rename the module adding a prefix "ZZZ_" since modules are loaded using listdir(modules_dir)

I would be useful implement something like:

self.before = [modules_list] || 'all'
self.after = [modules_list] || 'all'
