Hello,

I just merge PR, which brings REQUIRED_PACKAGES feature from userland-gate. 
This allows specifying and installing build time dependencies. It introduces 
following targets:

gmake REQUIRED_PACKAGES - this target will modify component Makefile, so it 
contains autogenerated REQUIRED_PACKAGES. REQUIRED_PACKAGES is not 100% and 
manual check has to be done in some cases. I was trying to compile openvpn, but 
didn’t have tun.h from driver/network/header-tun, so I had to add it manually, 
e.g.:
        REQUIRED_PACKAGES += driver/network/header-tun

gmake component-environment-check - this target will output information about 
the workspace and check if required dependencies are installed. There is a 
shorter alias, gmake env-check, for user convenience.

gmake component-environment-prep - this target will install packages specified 
in REQUIRED_PACKAGES variable. Please, ensure that your user has a privilege to 
install packages. There is a shorter alias, gmake env-prep, for user 
convenience.

gmake print-VAR - this is very handy and serves for printing Makefile variables.

If ypu want to know more about, you should read docs/makefile-targets.txt, 
which documents all supported Makefile targets.

I’d like to ask that new contributions have REQUIRED_PACKAGES added as I plan 
to develop other targets for building components in clean environment and 
rebuilding dependent components.

Cheers,
Adam
