 Currently we need to update `var/gradle_dependencies_version` each time
 `gradle-dependencies-list.txt` is updated.

 If you change `gradle-dependencies-list.txt` without updating
 `var/gradle_dependencies_version`, then you can easily end up with the
 wrong list of gradle dependencies being used in a build.

 To avoid this we should see if we can make the gradle dependencies be
 fetched again automatically when `gradle-dependencies-list.txt` has been
 updated, without the need to update `var/gradle_dependencies_version`.
