Re: tracking dependencies of built sources

Never mind.  Sometimes it is bad to work late at night.  I had convinced 
myself the following did not work.


For the record, here's the fixed makefile

$(DEPDIR)/%_moc.Po :
        @touch $@
include $(test_META:%.hpp=$(DEPDIR)/%_moc.Po)

The main problem with this is that it spews warnings about missing deps 
files the first time make is run.  It would be nice to properly hook into 
configure's depfiles command to avoid these warnings.  Likewise configure 
is generating a bogus file named ".deps/$(test_META:%.hpp=%_moc.Po". 
Otherwise it seems to work.
