What is make depend really supposed to do?

Currently, make depend does not recurse into subdirs.  
Currently, make depend assumes that you are in a build tree which has all the
	generated include files made.
Currently, make depend modifies the $(srcdir)/Makefile.in file
Currently, make depend assumes that one is using a native compiler (or 
	/mit/cygnus) to remove the OS specific include information. 

Do we want a recursive make depend that will generate proper
dependencies in the build tree? Or do we want to eventually propogate
the dependencies into the Makefile.in files. 

I can see advantages when making changes to a local header file
(clearly not krb5.h) and just rebuilding what is needed - but I need
proper dependencies!!


I can leave things as they are, or implement a recursive make depend
that adds dependencies to the build tree Makefiles.

What should I do?
