Description

Seems confusing to have a .mk file which is mostly just a bunch of variable declarations, which is then parsed as a CSV, simply for the sake of guiding the packages.gradle file .

Can we be more idiomatic to gradle and either eliminate bigtop.mk by making it into a native gradle data structure (its really just an array, and we can declare in gradle.settings) , so that the readBOM function is easier to follow ?

I think it is an entry point to understanding bigtop's build system so we should try to simplify it as much as possible to make it maximally easy for people to understand how bigtop's gradle packaging system works.
