Makefile madness

[DanKarron at UCBVAX.BERKELEY.EDU]

I want to make a standard make/smake/pmake rule for the depend: pseudotarget.

Then I want to include the list of target rules generated by makedepend, but
if the file generated by makedepend is not found, make aborts. Now how
can I get around this circular problem:

If Makedepend is not found as an include file, just run mkdepend instead of
aborting!

Also, how can I make all of the .c or .h files a dependency for depend : ?

Cheers!

dan.
