Comment:
Does anyone actually need this flag? It looks to be non-trivial to make
it work. In fact, I'm not at all clear what it should do. It can't
really do anything sensible in conjunction with `--make`, because in order
to do the dependency analysis you have to run preprocessors on the source
files, and `-n` doesn't let you run the preprocessors.
I propose to get rid of the flag. Any objections?
