Relationship between dependencies.groovy and BuildConfig.groovy

Hello,

With 1.2 adding more rigorous dependency resolution, I am confused between the roles for plugin's dependencies.groovy and BuildConfig.groovy. 

Is dependencies.groovy only for plugins, and BuildConfig only for apps?    I run a bunch of custom plugins inline (i.e. in .\plugins dir), and want to switch between using them as plugins, and using them as applications.   So I've been maintaining almost identical files for each one of them for each plugin, which is clearly not DRY.   

I wonder if one of these files is extra though and if there is a way to reference one file from the other perhaps.

dependencies.groovy should never be used/edited and is created from a
plugin projects BuildConfig.groovy during the package-plugin target

Cheers

Thanks.  If I have a local custom plugin (projectdir/plugins directory, location specified in projects's BuildConfig.groovy), do I need to run package-plugin every time its dependencies change?   Or is there a special handling for those plugins?
