This is useful when a project is built with Makefiles and erlc(1)
instead of EMakefiles. Tracking dependencies by hand is error-prone and
it becomes painful when using external application headers like EUnit's
one.
A dependencies Makefile will look like this:
module.beam: module.erl \
/usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/eunit-2.1.4/include/eunit.hrl \
header.hrl
When included in the main Makefile, 'module' will be recompiled only
when needed.
GCC offers the same feature and new erlc(1) options are compatible with
it.
