I've never heard of this problem; you may want to contact Watcom
directly, and see if they know about/have a fix.

The makefile creation utility works by calling the compiler options
DLL (provided by Watcom) to parse the source files, and return a
list of dependency information.   It's my understanding that Watcom
chose not to implement this particular entry point.  Again, your
best approach is probably to contact them, and make them aware of
your request.   -tim
