I screwed up. It shouldn't have been on the release, i.e., its
usefulness is limited.
We run one of the netlib sites. Netlib is a library of
free software, papers, and other useful stuff mostly
of a mathematical nature. Each directory in netlib
contains a .depend file that lists what symbols are
exported from each file in the directory and the
external symbols which that file references.
Depend mirrors the nelib directory structure. In each
directory appears a file for each symbol exported by
a program (as listed in .depend). Reading one of these
files yields the transitive closure of all the files
needed to resolve that symbol.
It's a way of giving someone what they asked for instead
of the whole contents of the directory.

What does aux/depend do? It seems to be a filesystem which can synthesise
files based on rules, and generate tar files, but I couldn't get it to do
anything other than mirror a directory structure (no files). There is no
mention in the man pages or in any other programs.
