New graph-depends script

Add a Python script that draws dependency graphs, either for the full
set of selected packages, or for a particular given package. Of
course, it is limited to packages that use either the generic or
autotools infrastructures. The script generates a file that Graphviz
can parse and generate a PDF (or other formats) from it.

Full dependency graph of all selected packages :

 ./scripts/graph-depends > test.dot
 dot -Tpdf test.dot -o test.pdf

Dependency graph of libgtk2 :

 ./scripts/graph-depends libgtk2 > test.dot
 dot -Tpdf test.dot -o test.pdf

+#  ./scripts/graph-depends [package-name] > test.dot

+#
+# With no arguments, graph-depends will draw a complete graph of
+# dependencies for the current configuration. With an argument,
+# graph-depends will draw a graph of dependencies for the given
+# package name.
+#
+# Limitations
+#
+#  * Some packages have dependencies that depend on the Buildroot
+#    configuration. For example, many packages have a dependency on
+#    openssl if openssl has been enabled. This tool will graph the
+#    dependencies as they are with the current Buildroot
+#    configuration.
+#
+#  * The X.org package definitions are only included when
+#    BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7 is enabled, so if this option is not enabled,
+#    it isn't possible to graph the dependencies of X.org stack
+#    components.
