If using the RabbitMQ build system, you need a -wrapper repository for 
each external dependency. This will clone the original project, patch it 
as needed and build a .ez from it. The one for webmachine is probably 
the simplest: http://hg.rabbitmq.com/webmachine-wrapper/. See the 
package.mk file for where most things happen.

Then the plugin using it just needs to add the -wrapper project to its 
DEPS line:
