Yes! That does work!

OTOH it breaks in BSD Make.  :-(

Thought to try something like this which makes BSD happy but breaks GNU.
Strangly, GNU seems to fault the .endif as its happy if the .endif is
deleted and -include is last thing in the file:

.if ! $(OSTYPE) == "FreeBSD"
-include .depend
.endif

Thanks all! Guess its time to quit playing with it as -include solves
the immediate problem and already have gmake on BSD.
