[oe] creating ipks for all package dependencies

[Cliff Brake]

I recently ran into an issue where I bitbake'd subversion.  I then
tried to install subversion from an ipkg feed, and ipkg complained
about dependencies not being available (neon, etc).  It turns out that
bitbake does not run the do_package_write_ipk task due to recent
corrections in the way dependencies are handled, so the ipks for
subversion dependencies where not in the feeds.  Richard suggested
merging a task from poky that forces all ipk files to be generated.
It has not been merged in OE, and to use do the following:

bitbake <your recipe> -c buildall

This will force ipks for all dependencies of <your recipe> to be built
as well as the package you are building.

Thanks,
Cliff
