Wrt to supporting every compiler, let's forget about it. So far I haven't
seen a single compiler with decent dependency tracking support. And even
if they did, you can be certain that each and every one would use a
different option syntax and output format.
Wrt the tool: why would it be so bad to have yet-another-helper-tool
in addition to mkinstalldirs, depmod, etc.? As long as we keep it simple,
portable, and short, of course.
Regards,
Martin
