#273: implement depends_on
-------------------------+------------------------
 Reporter:  Pete Jemian  |      Owner:  Unassigned
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  major        |  Milestone:
Component:  general      |   Keywords:
-------------------------+------------------------
 see: http://wiki.nexusformat.org/Main_Page/NXdetector_2012_10
 also see #112, #247, #268, and [1168]
 used in (amongst others): NXtransformations, NXmx

 From Tobias:
 ``depends_on`` has crept into a number of places in the documentation now.
 My short summary:

   It does exist both as a field for placing components (like NXdetector)
 and as an attribute to chain together transformations.
 A depends_on of "." is the explicit (and required) way of depending on the
 origin of the coordinate system.
