Test plan for Compile --pure

[ermo]

With the newest version of the Compile tool supporting using Runner to construct a sandbox during build (see this forum post [BACKUP]), focus now moves to verifying the various different Recipe types.

Test Recipes

Each category should be populated with 2-3 test recipes for verification.

See the Recipe Format Specification documentation for the supported types.

Each test should be conducted with updated versions of /Data/Compile/Recipes, /Programs/Compile/Current, /Programs/Scripts/Current on a system where all steps in the Known Issues and Fixes post-install guide have been completed. Note that the GrepReplace step in particular is important, otherwise build failures WILL occur!

Please use the command Compile --debug --pure <Recipe> and report any issues with a full build log.

Notes on Compile Dependencies

The new Dependencies required during Compile --pure runs should actually belong to
Compile/Resources/Dependencies.

We already have GCC and Python. Lua and CMake should be there too.

Also, the way that I implemented Compile --pure will allow any hand-written dependency file which states a
specific > version (or a range of versions) of a program to get prioritized over dependencies that simply
list the program name.

That is, if you add CMake to Compile/Resources/Dependencies and add CMake >= x.y.z to your Recipe,
the version requested by your Recipe will be honored.

First pass of the above was added in Compile PR #49.
