[Bf-committers] Blender dependencies scripts in main repo

[Sergey Sharybin]

Hi,

You can't easily replace install_deps.sh easily with those CMake based
scripts. It is a requirement to use as much as possible packages from main
repository.

As for where to put the files, i don't see a reason to make it additional
folder in build_files, this is what build_environment folder there was
supposed to be used for.

But then, i don't think regular users should ever bother with those
precompiled libraries. From this point of view, adding those scripts to a
blender-dev-tools repo (which is a submodule to source/tools) seems more
reasonable to me.
