so you can have a proper REQUIRES entry, a proper descrition etc so that if
you put it into a repo it will then show up in Haiku Depot with the proper
info.  For the  REQUIRES entry you'd define the minimum version of yab for
instance.  Yes there will be a yab hpkg, i'm working on it's recipe now,
should have something soon, except I'm being blocked due to some issue with
the openssl recipe at the moment.
