      Some Android.mk modules have transitive dependencies that must be specified when they are
      depended upon (like android-support-v7-mediarouter requires android-support-v7-appcompat).
      This may be specified multiple times to declare these dependencies.

   -use-version <version>
      If the maven directory contains multiple versions of artifacts and their pom files,
      -use-version can be used to only write makefiles for a specific version of those artifacts.
