Install-RequiredModule

2.0.1

Parses a RequiredModules.psd1 listing modules and attempts to import those modules.
If it can't find the module in the PSModulePath, attempts to install it from PowerShellGet.

The RequiredModules list looks like this (uses nuget version range syntax):
@{
   "PowerShellGet" = "2.0.4"
   "Configuration" = "[1.3.1,2.0)"
   "Pester"        = "[4.4.2,4.7.0]"
}
