Yeah. Still, it won't require so many separate dep* scripts, and
therefore reduce the probability of not working, like so many times the
dep* scripts did in the past, and nobody knows if the output is correct
right now. And another reason, gcc -M and sed on the output is
significantly faster than using sed directly on the source code as the
dep* scripts do.

Anyway, my plans now are to try an automake solution, which would be far
superior to any manual dependencies generation.
