Automatically add in-tree dependencies

Status: new

Reported by: eb Assigned to: jcorgan
Priority: normal Milestone: to-be-decided
Component: build Version: 3.0svn
Keywords: Cc:

If the user asks to configure a particular component, and that component depends on something else in the tree that isn't already being built, enable the required component(s) automatically.

I think this should be implemented by some simple tsort-style dependency chain. This is orthogonal to the request from the NetBSD folks to be able to build components against installed components.

The existing in-tree dependency checking is a bit of a kludge and ought to be reworked as part of the solution to this issue.
