Description Ralph Giles 2004-06-23 11:40:11 UTC 
The manual dependency tree in our Makefiles is brittle and difficult to
maintain. We need some kind of automatic verification/generation tool for these
macro definitions to help keep them up to date.

We now have toolbin/checkdeps.pl and toolbin/headercompile.pl to do this job.
