Re: [9fans] Building dependencies.

// We tend to keep things simple, with one header

// everything depend on the header file (or both headers).

while i agree this is the best approach to building
systems in most cases, i ocasionally have to deal with
alien code. much, much code i've run accross isn't
built with anything approaching simplicity in mind,
nor do the makefiles tend to be readable, useful, or
workable under APE. i'd love to be able to generate the
list of dependancies and roll my own ma?ke?file.
