+this port of makedepend is now called makedep, since it's a shorter name,
+and therefore better...?  or at least shorter.
+the code has been ported to visual c++ 5.x-7.x as well as remaining compatible
+with unix and linux.  it has been made to comply with c++ prototype rules.
+also, support for excluding directories from dependency checking has been
+added (with a -X flag that takes the directory name).

+makedepend
+----------
+
+This is a quick and rude port of the X11 R6 makedepend to OS/2 using icc.
+
+I have taken the code from FreeBSD 2.0.5, which I happened to have handy.
+
+I have added a feature I wanted: the switch -iENVIRONMENTVARIABLE will add
+all semicolon delimited directories in ENVIRONMENTVARIABLE to the list of
+include directories.
+
+One obvious use is: makedepend -i INCLUDE a.c
+
+If you do not want the system header files in you dependencies, you might use:
+
+set MYINCLUDE=\mytree\include;\mytree\subproj\include
+
+makedepend -i MYINCLUDE a.c
+
+but
+
+makedepend -I \mytree\include -I \mytree\subproj\include a.c
+
+which is the 'normal' way of doing things, is also possible.
+
+Sources
+-------
+
+Todd Brunhoff wrote this program. Thanks.
+
+To build makedepend, I use icc and GNU make. nmake will barf over the makefile.
+
+And yes, I use long filenames. If you don't like that, edit the makefile.
+
+I have compiled these sources under NT with VC++ 4.2 without any hassles (different 
+makefile, though).
