This is a new set of standalone helpers that will allow us to use the tidyverse style "Config/Needs/thing" approach in DESCRIPTION then use a little standalone helper to install packages. So for dust we'll use it for the compile dependencies, and for hipercow we can use it if we have some deps that are optional (e.g., bits for rrq).
At present it assumes that we can install things with
install.packagesbut installation with remotes would allow for finding things from alternative locations.Used in https://github.com/mrc-ide/dust2/pull/87/files
