Humm... but bl3 takes care of that already.  Dependencies pulled in from the
buildlink3.mk files are treated as indirect ones; many still have to be
included from the buildlink3.mk files to make sure that required header/library
files (either directly or indirectly) are present in the buildlink directory.
Am I missing something?
