Please resurrect this PR.  It seems that, despite what I was led to
believe, FreeBSD doesn't actually have a system for handling automatic
dependencies.  This topic is now covered in the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook
under "Problems Caused by Automatic Dependencies":

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-depend.html#AEN2421

The print/libgnomeprint Makefile hasn't changed since before this PR was
opened, so the patch I submitted can be committed without modification.

My thanks to everybody who gave me feedback regarding this issue,
especially the FreeBSD Ports Management Team and Warren Block.
