deps: detect & install #6

Rather than having to install dependencies manually this patch detects whether or not dependencies exist and installs them according to the platform (OS X/Debian). This might smoothen out the setup process a little.

Thanks!

@maxogden :D yeah, I talked to Mathias last week and what you guys are doing is very relevant for my current gig. I'm currently digging through the build process and see if tinycore linux can be replaced with the more flexible alpine linux so deps can be specified after distribution rather than on compile only. Will keep you posted as I tinker around (':

excellent, i briefly looked into alpine but didnt get very far and decided to stick with tinycore, but more experimentation would be great. theres also https://github.com/nlf/dhyve-os which is somewhat similar to hypercore but uses buildroot
