Description
By moving to a build system that supports transitive dependency management, the repository size can be decreased and users can more easily integrate quarks with their own applications by allowing the version of a dependency to float within an acceptable range, assuming proper semantic versioning of the dependencies.
bjhargrave has created the initial set of gradle files with PR-131. The gradle work is still WIP. The existing build mechanisms are still in place and are to be used.

[ Original from lfeagan
I have an initial set of work for this effort completed using gradle. Nearly all sub-projects build at this time--the notable exception being the android-dependent sub-projects. The other notable missing element is the integration of JaCoCo. In both cases, these should be simple additions. ]
