  Btw is there a reason why git doesn't use the gcc -M* options to have
proper dependency informations ? I understand not everyone has a gcc
compiler at hand, but still, most of the compilers know how to do that.
We could even borough depcomp from automake for that task.

  I've been bitten by dependencies issues in git many times, and it's
only now that I understand that it was dependency issues, I always
assumed git Makefiles dealt with that already, and I believe that'd be
nice to have a real solution for that.
