The original series had the following patches:
 1 dependencies: check core dependencies before anything else
 2 dependencies: add function suitable-host-package
 3 dependencies: build a host-tar if no suitable tar can be found
 4 dependencies: remove unused lzma checking scripts
 5 dirs and dependencies should be executed before every package

Patches 1 and 4 are already merged (thanks Peter).

Patch 5 tried to fix some non-default scenarios, like running 'make
ctng-menuconfig'
without having run 'make dependencies' or plain 'make' first. But, this
attempt mainly suffered from the introduction of circular dependencies, which
are not easy to solve. I therefore decided not to support these scenarios in
this series.

Patch 2 and 3 are updated in this series based on the input from Arnout
(thanks!)

Additionally, a new patch moves toolchain/dependencies to
support/dependencies.
