Thanks, I'm checking this in.  Actually I'm checking in the updated
version of the patch.

I have a couple questions however.

First, does the AIX compiler really generate dependencies as a side
effect of compilation?  I assume it must, from your patch.  I'm just
suprised (that AIX would have anything so clueful :-).

Second, your patch doesn't generate dummy `.h' entries.  Does the AIX
compiler do this automatically (I'd be really suprised!).  If not,
tell me and I'll update the patch to account for this.
