Description
I just added an dependency in ofxCv to ofxOpenCV, but in make based build systems this has an issue, ofxCv gets included before ofxOpenCV in the linking phase, it should be opposite, dependencies should get included first.
I've tried to move the dependency includer in config.addons.mk around a bit, but haven't found a place where it works.

Research direction
Start in config.addons.mk and reproduce a make-based build using the ofxCv dependency on ofxOpenCV. Trace how addon dependencies are included during linking; done means dependency addons are included before the addons that depend on them.
