Comment (by danieljames):

 (In [77442]) Quickbook: Rough stab at outputting dependencies. Refs #6691

 Adds `--output-deps` flag. To write out dependencies to `deps.txt`:
 {{{
 quickbook --output-deps deps.txt source.qbk
 }}}

 If `--output-deps` is specified, quickbook won't generate an output file
 unless one is specified with `--output-file`. If there is an error it
 will return an error code, but it will still write out all the opened
 files.

 Known issues:
 - If the same file is included/imported twice it may or may not list it
   twice. Should be consistent.
 - Doesn't include SVG files. It probably should as they can affect the
   output.
 - Need to check some of the path issues for things such as xinclude
   paths which depend on the output file path.
 - Needs tests and documentation.
