Description
it would be great if projectGenerator could identify in addon_config.mk the properties of
common:
# dependencies with other addons, a list of them separated by spaces
ADDON_DEPENDENCIES = ofxXmlSettings
and add automatically if they are found in the system. Thanks!

Research direction
Start by tracing how projectGenerator reads addon_config.mk and how it currently handles addon selection. Inspect the ADDON_DEPENDENCIES property and the existing system-addon discovery path. Done means dependencies listed there are detected and automatically added when available, without requiring manual selection.
