- extension automation projects are included under Automation, and built as part of AutomationTool

- This allows for Confidential platforms to exist outside of the engine, and insert themselves in as needed
- Directory structure is, where .... mirrors the directory structure for Engine and projects
- /Platforms/XXX/....
- Moving to more data driven approach for ShaderPlatforms and PlatformInfo, where they can be read from DataDrivenPlatformInfo.ini files that live in the platform config folders
- Removed platform mentions from UBT, by way of changing some enums to partial classes with static members (see UnrealTargetPlatform)
- Various other UBT/UAT modifications to allow for looking in other locations for files
- THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE AND FINAL SOLUTION. WE WILL CONTINUE WORK IN DEV-BUILD BEFORE ITS READY FOR PRIMETIME

* A makefile is now constructed for each target, and the outdated actions are combined into a single graph before execution.
* Makefiles are used in all build modes, regardless of whether they are saved to disk, and represent the vector by which a target's build actions are passed to the executor.
* The -JsonExport= argument has been removed, and a separate JsonExport mode has been added (invoke with eg. "-Mode=JsonExport UE4Editor Win64 Development")
* Multiple action history files are kept open at one time, and a hierarchy is used for each target.

* A standalone Win32 application called cl-filter is used to parse output from running the Visual Studio compiler with the /showIncludes option, and generate a dependency list similar to Clang.
* Actions which produce an external dependency list declare it explicitly. If the dependency list is missing, or any of the contents are out of date, the action is rebuilt.
* The contents of dependency lists are cached by the CppDependencyCache class for future iterations.
