reviewable via gradle-consistent-versions

   I'm new to Gradle, but I read through the docs for 
`gradle-consistent-versions` and it seems quite reasonable. It has some nice 
features that I'd like to have in Maven. This appears to be a strict 
improvement over the current situation.
   
   One problem this doesn't seem to solve is requiring dependency declarations 
for everything that is used directly. For example, before 
37f6a20f324b23c26773b24259ee78d067d41323, the code was directly referencing 
`commons-compress`, but there was no direct dependency. The classes happened to 
be on the classpath via the `avro` dependency. This is solved in Maven via 
[`dependency:analyze`](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/usage.html#The_dependency:analyze_mojo).
 The Gradle equivalent seems to be 
[gradle-dependency-analyze](https://github.com/wfhartford/gradle-dependency-analyze)
 although I'm surprised there's not a more "official" solution.
