Grr, Robert please stop saying that. It is reliable, as long as the 
dependencies are regular '#include <>' and '#include ""'. So if you 
think it's not handling those cases please point out where so we can fix 
it. If you think it should handle other cases please also point those 
out so we can add support for them.

No. As was pointed out before that DEPENDS has no effect as you need the 
real target names, which those aren't.
