+&#
+&# Arranges for automatic #include dependency tracking for
+&# C compilation.  The compiler is asked to write the dependencies to
+&#  .*.d and these are automatically included.
+&#
+&# There is a bug: if a #included file is deleted and all references
+&# in .c files to it removed, `make' will complain that it is needed
+&# and can't be built.  `make clean' will fix this.
