Now that we've seen how to setup a feature module, we'll also need to decide how best to share a feature's resources and deal with dependencies.

One things we'll likely have to do is support having images and other resources that can be used outside of the module that contains it. We will expose these resources to other modules by providing a public type that returns these resources.

We'll also implement a lightweight Dependencies struct that will hold a module's dependencies so the main app can pass along just what it needs and prevent it from requiring everything that the entire app depends on.
