Some questions about this commit, which I'm sure more people must have:
* Was it really necessary to commit hundreds of clearly generated files?
* Couldn't these be generated on the fly, or with some "make depend" like 
command?
* How to update these files, if you change anything in the 'real' Makefiles?
* Or are you now the maintainer of these .depend files? :-)
