 Description   

DependencyHandler should support multiple dependency notations followed by a configure closure, like grails does:

compile('group1:artifact1:ver1', 'group2:artifact2:ver2')

{ exclude group: 'excluded-group', module: 'excluded-artifact' }

This will make build script more concise.

format the code snippet

compile('group1:artifact1:ver1', 'group2:artifact2:ver2') {
 exclude group: 'excluded-group', module: 'excluded-artifact'
}

The above exclusion mighty be done by configuration-level exclude.

But I think it make sense to allow applying a config to multiple dependencies, for example:

compile('group1:artifact1:ver1', 'group2:artifact2:ver2') {
  force = true
  transitive = false
}

Since we can write "compile dep, dep", and "compile dep, config", it's reasonable to guess that we should also be able to write "compile dep, dep, config", isn't it?
