I remember that there was a way to automatically have a makefile keep track
of the which "h" files are needed by a "cpp" file. Can someone refresh my
memory of how to set up a make-depend.

If you use gcc you can use "g++ -MM *.cpp >> .depend" which will write all
the dependencies of all cpp files to the file .depend, excluding all the
system headers. Below is a Makefile in which it is used.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for. Consider adding this information
to some help page since non Unix users are unlikely to know about it.

Hi Joost...

Could this kind of makefile be automated into a plugin? Thanks.
