I expect it needs both org.eclipse.platform and org.eclipse.rcp, which
aren't direct dependencies of the features in the e4 repository.  The
e4.sdk.runtime feature includes all of the plugins that comprise e4 +
the e4 runtime component, which includes the ECF plugins that we need
to build the e4 SDK drops (since we need the eclipse SDK feature and
the p2 feature, but p2 uses ECF plugins without a feature).

What we currently have will build the e4 SDK (from the legacy product
file) and is componentized enough that it can be installed into a 3.5
classic SDK from the update site. I'm open to patches that can still
do this but also provide a runtime target platform.  I would imagine
you would distinguish the compatibility layer, and everything else.
