autoproj 1.7.9 has been released

This is mainly a bugfix release. See release notes below

==== Changes for users
* fix passing autoproj options from aup and amake to autoproj itself
(it was broken). One can now *really* do
amake --no-deps
as advertised by the 1.7.8 release notes.
* orogen: removed automatic dependency detection, it was half-broken
anyway. It means that all dependencies must be listed explicitely
(either in the manifest.xml or in the autoproj configuration)
* orogen: avoid unnecessary regeneration (experimental, disabled by
default).It can be enabled by setting
Autobuild::Orogen.always_regenerate = true
in autoproj/init.rb
* fix some bad behaviour when using fallback importers
- report the original error instead of the error in the fallback
importer
- git does not update the git configuration with the bad URLs anymore
It fixes an issue with custom gitorious installations that don't
offer an HTTP access method: autoproj was falling back to that, and
was (obviously) failing. The result was that the remote on the
package was then setup to use http://git. URLs, that are not valid

==== Changes for configuration writers
* improve ruby 1.9 compatibility
* fix ignoring osdeps dependencies completely, i.e.
ruby: ignore
is now working fine (before, one had to provide at least an OS name)
* on dpkg-based systems (debian, ubuntu), fix detection of installed
virtual packages
* autoproj_bootstrap now follows the AUTOPROJ_DEFAULT_OSDEPS
environment variable

The reader would have corrected to

Autobuild::Orogen.always_regenerate = false

(thanks Janosch)
