I see :-) Suppose you have a file x.c, and you invoke

   env SUNPRO_DEPENDENCIES="x.deps build/x.o" gcc -c -o x.o x.c

then a file x.deps is generated, and has, on the left-hand side of the
dependency rule, build/x.o. It works the same way for compilers
identifying themselves as

cc: Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C 5.2 2000/09/11

when invoked with -V. I can't give a complete list of compilers that
support that feature, but setting the variable can't hurt - the worst
case is that it is ignored.

Regards,
Martin
