Maybe you can supply a patch first, so we can comment on the design
solution you have choosen?

Can you have more entries in a depend statement like, depend A B C? It
looks okay although I somehow prefeered a global set statement since
it looks more explicit, like: set dependencies A->B->C but this is
probably more difficult to implement? Anyway my preferences are not
very strong if it's done this way or that way as long as it's done :-)
