-M dependency-generation option missing from lilypond-book in 2.2.1

[Michael Haynie]

In version 2.0.1, there was an option to lilypond-book to generate 
dependencies for make, which has been removed. This makes document 
management quite difficult, at least for me, since I now have to write 
the dependencies by hand. For the manuscripts I'm currently working on, 
the dependency lists are too long to maintain by hand.

I should note that the dependency files that lilypond writes out are 
somewhat malformed for use by gnu make (which may be the reason the 
option is now missing). The target names reflect the name of the 
dependency file, not the actual target. The problem can be easily 
corrected with something like the following:

cat foo.dep | sed -e 's/dep:/pdf:/' -e 's|/[/a-zA-Z]*/||' >foo.d

which has the effect of rewriting the target portion of the rule to 
reflect foo.pdf instead of foo.dep. I then include foo.d in the make 
file instead of foo.dep.
