Rather than add a new option specifically for this, I'm tempted just to
add the variables to the -e output...

The trouble is that variables starting "__" are considered internal use
by bitbake. Would it work if we merge __base_depends and __depends and
print this as some specific variable like BBINCLUDES ? I can imagine
that being useful elsewhere too and we don't expose the internal split
of the variable that way...

Cheers,
