Well, certainly "README.dependencies" isn't a common or "standard" file.
Also, it really exists for a slightly different purpose, which was to
understand the "lay of the land" with respect to which library versions
we could safely depend on for the major distros.  But it has turned out
to be useful for people who don't want to keep re-running ./configure,
waiting for it to fail, installing the dep, re-running ./configure ...

At the same time, it does duplicate a bit of the detail of
configure.in ... which is actually authoritative about which dependent
packages and versions are required.

As for the ordering ... the ordering is function of the dependency
relations between the packages.   Abstractly, it's unclear why we should
specify the order of building guile, slib and g-wrap, which are all
other projects.  Any reasonable package management system is going to
encode these relationships, and be able to generate this ordering on
demand.

Updated SlackBuild scripts would be good for all.  It seems like you
should contribute these back to FreeRock GNOME.
