mms/mmk differences - depends_on

[hb--]

Not a big deal, it looks more like a defectlet on the MMS side. MMK accepts a newline (and/or a comment) as a delimiter for "depends_on" while MMS does not. But both accept such a delimiter for a colon:

There is a section in the manual about differences. I will add it to the manual for the V5.1 release.
