Interestingly, once you add the extra bits that this needs and fix the
obvious typos, it *still* doesn't work. A header file foo.h in the current
directory will end up in the dependency list as /usr/include/foo.h

Don't even start me on the use of a zillion sed commands when awk would do
the job better (check the dependency stuff in the MMDF distribution if you
do not believe me).

Crazed poetry indeed :-) Neil.
