 god, what a cross-post.  I think I've trimmed it a teency bit.

  what really annoys the hell out of me is that makedepend lists files
from /usr/include.  You can have a file that includes one system
header and one local header and generate 6 bloody lines of
dependencies, most of which will never be a factor (system headers
theoretically don't change).

  Running makedepend often triples the size of my Makefile, and quite
gratuitously at that.

  Am I overlooking a flag?
