What to change

Beside dependencies and ensure_dependencies.py pay attention to the content of README.md, it might should be changed in accordance with new features of buildtools, and ensure that all scripts like, e.g. generate_docs.py are still working.

Please add some more information to the issue description:

• a short sentence to introduce why we want to update the buildtools dependency of adblockpluscore
• specific things in the README that need to be changed
• a Integration notes section if relevant e.g. will I have to change something in adblockpluschrome when I later update the adblockpluscore dependency to include this buildtools dependency update?

Also I wonder why there are two tables of revisions in the description is that a mistake? Also it would be useful to mention adblockpluscore in the subject, since it's not immediately obvious which repository we're talking about so far.
