CMake itself doesn't know. How header dependencies are determined and

I have spent enough time on this code, so:

for the makefile-generators, the header dependencies are generated by cmake
(not at cmake time, but at build time), which results in the depend.make file.

So both how the dependencies are determined and where they are recorded is a generator specific implementation detail.
This does not make it suitable for general consumption.
