- Introduce BUILD_ALL_DEPS to build all RDEPENDS. E.g

Changes in BitBake 1.3.2:
- reintegration of make.py into BitBake
- bbread is gone, use bitbake -e
- lots of shell updates and bugfixes
- Introduction of the .= and =. operator
- Sort variables, keys and groups in bitdoc
- Fix regression in the handling of BBCOLLECTIONS
- Update the bitbake usermanual
Changes in BitBake 1.3.0:
- add bitbake interactive shell (bitbake -i)
- refactor bitbake utility in OO style
- kill default arguments in methods in the bb.data module
- kill default arguments in methods in the bb.fetch module
- the http/https/ftp fetcher will fail if the to be
downloaded file was not found in DL_DIR (this is needed
to avoid unpacking the sourceforge mirror page)
- Switch to a cow like data instance for persistent and non
persisting mode (called data_smart.py)
- Changed the callback of bb.make.collect_bbfiles to carry
additional parameters
- Drastically reduced the amount of needed RAM by not holding
each data instance in memory when using a cache/persistent
storage
Changes in BitBake 1.2.1:
The 1.2.1 release is meant as a intermediate release to lay the
ground for more radical changes. The most notable changes are:
- Do not hardcode {}, use bb.data.init() instead if you want to
get a instance of a data class
- bb.data.init() is a factory and the old bb.data methods are delegates
- Do not use deepcopy use bb.data.createCopy() instead.
- Removed default arguments in bb.fetch
