Added use of variables in class dependencies. These variable can be used to configure the set of supported libraries for features such as supported encoders/decoders, URL protocols, etc.

 #
+# Within dependencies, variables can be used. A variable is defined as 
+# follows: 
+#
+#   {variable}: value1 value2 ... value<n>
+#
+# variables can be used on the right side of dependencies as follows: 
+#
+#    <used>: com.bla.blu.{variable}.Class.m()V
+#
+# The use of the variable will expand to <n> dependencies of the form
+#
+#    <used>: com.bla.blu.value1.Class.m()V
+#    <used>: com.bla.blu.value2.Class.m()V
+#    ...
+#    <used>: com.bla.blu.value<n>.Class.m()V
+#
+# Variables can be redefined when building a system to select the 
+# required support for features like encodings, protocols, etc.
