Policy for adding dependencies

To make hikogui easy to integrate in your own application we try to limit the number of dependencies to the absolute minimum.

• We will allow libraries to be included which implement a preview of an accepted C++ standard feature.
• Dependencies that are required to integrate with the operating system or integrate with another application are also allowed.
• We will also allow dependencies that are required by the build environment.
• Good quality support libraries.
