To me, regular expressions are just gibberish, most of the time :P I
guess, they somehow simulate a C parser though, looking for the #ifdef
SCAN_DEPEND and #include statements in files. Still, letting cpp do this
would seem more reasonable. And there was at least 2 patches recently to
include things into the dependency scripts which had been missed, the
one by me costing me a lot of confusion before realizing that something
simply wasn't rebuilt :P

Yes.. but a dependency on gcc would be weaker than a dependancy on sed.
So, I'd say, we should leave it in the TODO in any case, until someone
gets around and tries to come up with a cleaner solution.
