We have a problem if we want to inject specific information into the variable
dependency code. There are cases for example where we want a dependency
on the value of X but it doesn't matter how X was constructed or what
dependencies it might have had, we only care about the absolute value.
With the current code, its near enough impossible to do this.
This patch adds such a mechanism so the user can trigger this with code like:
baselib[vardepvalue] = "${baselib}"
It also refactors some of the code so we do variable lookups once
instead of doing this in two different functions.

Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
