At the moment, fixers are run in alphabetical order -- but this poses
a problem, because some depend on others (for example, fix_print will
need to be run _before_ fix_future, because fix_print looks for the
'from __future__ import ...' statement.

I'm tempted to simply change fix_future to fix_zz_future... But that
has some obvious drawbacks.
Alternately, if future is the only dependent module, it might be
marginally cleaner to simply special-case it in
refactor.get_all_fix_names.

So, any better suggestions?

I would create a list of fixers that need to go first in refactor.py and run those in order. If you wanted to get complex, you could add a requires member to fixes, but that is probably overkill.
