I disagree, what you need is:
- An automated build system for your deliveries, something you should 
have anyway
- An method of tracking versions of your dependencies, again something 
you should have anyway
- And a policy that you incorporate bug fixes from your dependencies in 
your deliveries, something you should do anyway if you are serious about 
your product.
