I’m beginning to think that this may be the way to go.  The article that Matt 
linked makes some good points about when dependency files actually need to be 
updated.  I hadn’t considered those points before and they lead to something 
different from what the GNUMake manual suggests as far as building the 
dependency files.  Implementing those ideas will require me to rework some of 
what I’ve been doing, but also would open up the possibility to do things like 
analyze the stderr from the compilation for messages which clearly identify the 
output.
