Description

Right now the project's need to have egg dependencies in egg.yml for newt egg dependencies, and the newt build system looks for the project's dependencies in the <project>.yml file. This leads to confusion, and mismatching files.

This should be unified, by either:

a) Removing the <project>.yml file, and just having an egg.yml file.
b) Only listing project dependencies in either the egg.yml OR the <project>.yml file.

Personally, I think everything a project does can be encapsulated in an egg.yml file.
