I think there is resistance since not everybody might be using GCC.
Of course, the problem here is how to make the makefile smart enough
to decide whether to use 'gcc -MM' or 'makedepend' depending on what's
available.

We're getting to the point of needing autoconf and automake, as I
said before.  I'd just rather not make that step yet if possible,
mostly because it would clutter things up.
