CMake's dependency scanner uses its own parser to scan for #include directives, 
and then builds up the dependency tree this way. I know it's possible to rig up 
an invocation of gcc -M to generate the correct dependencies, and then feed 
this into the OBJECT_DEPENDS property of source files, but that means that 
dependency generation would happen when running 'cmake .', not 'make'.

I guess the bigger question here is: why doesn't cmake use gcc -M internally 
when it's available? It's vastly superior to any homegrown parser, so why not 
use it?
