You mean

           sources = [SourceFile("spam.c", depends=["spam.h", "spam2.h"])])

That's the only way this is going to get done...

I had some crazy ideas to use "gcc -MMD" to create a database of

this is work.

Somebody print "keep it simple, stupid" on a ream of paper and drop it
on my head, please?
