A simple (silly) dependency manager for C! (Super alpha / exploratory version!)

(The goal is to have depy written in shell to remove the ruby dependency, but until then...)

gem install depy

• start from a boilerplate.c project.
• create a Depfile in the project's root, for example:

dep 'uthash'

• for other supported dependencies, use depy list or depy search <term> (ie. depy search hash)
• run depy install

At this point, depy will download all the dependencies' sources into ./deps add the appropriate make targets to the ./deps/Makefile, and update the -I, -L, -l CFLAGS inside of ./Makefile.

With a simple #include <uthash.h>, you should be ready to make and use the dependency!

• support specifying version (git tag) / gitref
• obviously support dependencies that aren't hosted on Github!
• support dynamic linking
• allow "recipes" to support other build systems than make (cmake, etc.)
• if necessary, not depend on github to host the dependency "recipes"
