Allow testing tool_dependencies.xml without a tool shed.

• Finish work on transcribing tool sheds to Homebrew taps (https://github.com/jmchilton/shed2tap).
• Every hour synchronize the tool shed and test tool shed with a brew tap (e.g. https://github.com/jmchilton/homebrew-toolshed).
• Add planemo options for installing a tool_dependencies.xml with as if it were installed into a particular tool shed - all with brew using these taps.
• Implement a Galaxy dependency resolver that uses tool_dependencies.xml plus these custom taps to resolve dependencies the way it would be done via tool shed installs.
• Add option to test command to do resolution in this fashion.

From #86

Possibly should try and find the packages locally (e.g. ../../packages/###)

Is there any progress on this feature? I'm currently trying to test a tool with tool_dependencies using planemo serve but realize that I need to set up a local tool shed and then.. (inform planemo about it?)

Not really - sorry. If you want to test tools with planemo serve you need to make sure the dependencies are locally available. It doesn't address tool shed dependencies at this time - to do that testing I guess I would recommend publishing to the test tool shed and testing manually.

Got it. Thanks!

Closing as won't fix - we are moving toward conda and these options exist today. The remaining issues are largely all Galaxy issues.
