It pains me that I've forgotten/lost the original poster, but in any
case, I've bought into using `jikes -E -depend ...' to handle
dependencies. You can't get away with this using the JDK since it is
soooooo slow. On the other hand, jikes is sufficiently up to the
task. I'm still blown away every time I see this compiler strut its
stuff. Simply incredible. The -E option generates Emacs compatible
error messages.
