Well, it's pretty simple - There's basically 2 kind of dependencies:

1: Toolchain configuration options (largefile, wchar, C++, ..)
2: Libraries

For the first type we use 'depends by' and add a comment so people know
what to change in their toolchain to be able to use the package. For the
second we automatically enable the dependencies using 'select'.

There's a few special situations that fall outside this (an example is
when you have multiple backends like X11 and directfb), but this covers
90%+ of the situations.
