I do this, too, but use a tool to pull out all of the declarations from
the files containing the definitions. This tool puts "/* foo.c */" ahead
of the prototypes from file foo.c, so it serves as a (crude) index to
functions. I do NOT make the object files depend upon this header file
(called "proto.h"), nor do I automatically re-create proto.h whenever
any .c files are modified; I need to explicitly re-create proto.h whenever
I change the definition of, or add any functions.
