(I would have written this in gnu.make.help or gnu.utils.help, but neither
of those existed.)

Is there any way to have Gmake figure out recursive dependencies?  In other
words, if I have two dependencies like this:

    source.o: source.cc
    source.cc: inc.h

and "inc.h" is changed, I would like it to figure out that it needs to
recompile "source.cc" to make "source.o".  So far, my experiments show that
this doesn't work.
