[MINSTALL-33] mvn install:install-file should create appropriate entries so that dependencies with version ranges will use installed file.

Description

when using install:install-file it should cooperate with the code that handles versions that don't have an explicit version, but specify a version range. For example, if I install hibernate-3.2.0rc4, and my pom.xml has the hibernate dependency specified as:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>hibernate</groupId>
      <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
      <version>[3.2.0rc4,)</version>
    </dependency> 

maven will complain that it cannot find the hibernate version 3.2.0rc4. However if the dependency is specified as :

    <dependency>
      <groupId>hibernate</groupId>
      <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
      <version>3.2.0rc4</version>
    </dependency>

then the project builds successfully.
