Cfg dependencies are still required on excluded platforms #3233
Description
A simple use case:
Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "test"
version = "0.1.0"
[target.'cfg(windows)'.dependencies]
does_not_exist = 1and
main.rs
fn main() {}Will fail with this error on my linux machine:
Updating registry `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index`
error: no matching package named `does_not_exist` found (required by `test`)
location searched: registry https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index
version required: ^1
From what I gathered on the dependencies page is that it should be ignored as I did not run it on a linux machine.

This was a question on SO, and it bugged me.
