[PATCH] touchless dependencies for 2.4.x

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi,

The 2.4.x dependency system depends on being able to `touch' include files in
case of recursive dependencies.  This fails when using a revision control
system (e.g. ClearCase) where non-checked out files are read-only and cannot be
touch'ed.

The patch below solves this by making object files depend on (recursive) lists,
containing the list of dependencies for each header file.

Example:
  - Dependencies:
      o file.c includes header.h
      o header.h includes header2.h

  - Old way:

      o .depend:

	    file.o:	file.c header.h

      o .hdepend:

	    header.h:	header2.h
			touch header.h

  - New way:

      o .depend:

	    file.o:	file.c header.h $(dep_header.h)

      o .hdepend:

	    dep_header.h += header2.h $(dep_header2.h)

Is this OK? So far I didn't notice any regressions.
