No, there was no publicity about the change. It was more of an 
afterthought really.  Our dependencies have always been slightly off 
because we ran 'depend' before any of the generated headers were 
regenerated.  This seemed like as good of a time as any to fix that 
especially since that difference matters now (with the purging).

I was wondering the same thing.  We don't build it during export on unix 
so I thought it was a win32 thing.
