The depend phase shouldn't be necessary.  Many makefiles have
complications to support this.  See e.g. sh/Makefile for a verbose way
of handling the problem of generated headers.  Several object files
really do depend on the generated headers, and there seems to be no
better way of expression this than giving the dependencies explicity
(making everything depend on .depend is no good, since everything would
get rebuilt when .depend changes).
