Description

While trying to build Ceph from master today, Jenkins failed:

checking for libudev.h... no
configure: error: libudev.h not found (libudev-dev, libudev-devel)
configure failed

I understand that the failure is actually telling us what the missing dependency is and it is just an install away. But for automated
build environments this is very difficult to keep up with. Jenkins has many slaves and different platforms, so this means we need
to handle this.

A target to ensure these dependencies are met would alleviate this.

make install-deps perhaps? This would be even more useful if done in
a way that will allow us to centralize our list of dependencies.
Currently we have: configure scripts, .deb and .rpm package specs,
fabfile.py from autobuild-ceph.git, README with apt-get/yum one-liners,
the ever behind "How to build Ceph" doc, etc. It would be nice to
somehow have it all in one place.
