   *  given component library referenced by |aFile| requires 
   *  symbols that can be found in the library named |aLibName|.
   *  
   *  The native component loader is expected to resolve these 
   *  external symobls prior to loading the component library.  
   *
   *  @param aFile
   *       The native component file location that is declaring a 
   *       a dependency. This file is expected to be a DSO/DLL.
   *
   *  @param aLibName
   *       This is a name of a library that the component requires.
   *       This file name is found in either the GRE bin directory 
   *       or the application's bin directory.  Full file path are 
   *       also accepted.  Passing nsnull for the |aLibName| will 
   *       clear all dependencies.  Note that non null aLibName
   *       values are expected to be in the native charset.
