Description of problem:
The PDL metadata used by the DDL generator contains sufficient information for
validating the data model dependancies between applications. Requiring the
developer to add 

<requires>
  <table>
</requires>

and

<provides>
  <table>
</provides>

declaration is duplicating this information from the PDL & will never be  filled
in to a satisfactory level of correctness. It is also unlikely that a developer
will remember to update this info when changing PDL.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Leave out the 'cms_items' dependancy from ccm-cms-types-address.load
2. Load the ccm-cms-types-address application without first loading ccm-cms
3.
    

Actual Results:  DB error about missing table target for foreign key

Expected Results:  Loader immediately reports missing dependencies without
attempting to load SQL.
