Invalid dependency resolution

Looking at the following dependency tree:

compile:

bld is using version 1.7.10 of the Kotlin standard libs, which are needed by readingtime.

Yet, for example, the bitly-shorten dependency is needing version 1.9.10 of the same Kotlin libraries.

The workaround is to include bitly-shorten as a direct dependency.

This behavior matches Maven's dependency resolution, which picks the latest version with the shortest path. Including the latest version of the Kotlin std library is the best solution:

.include(dependency("org.jetbrains.kotlin", "kotlin-stdlib-jdk8", version(1,9,10)))
