[oi-dev] build-essential package review

[Adam Števko]

build-essential should be used as a meta-package for installing all the packages needed for building oi-userland + some needed stuff like archivers and tools. I wasn't proposing to drop sun studio from the repository, but not including it in the package because our default compiler is GCC. sun studio is and will be available from the repository till day someone removes (but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon).
