Dear Waldek, Peter,

I just wanted to commit the change to Makefile.in, and wanted to write a line
of explication.  Then I found that Makefile.pamphlet exists, and looked up the
meaning of DEP, which explained a bit:

    The {\bf DEP} variable contains the list of files that
    will be loaded into {\bf DEPSYS}. Notice that these files
    are loaded in interpreted form. We are not concerned about
    the compile time performance so we can use interpreted code.
    We do, however, care about the macros as these will be
    expanded in later compiles. All macros are assumed to be
    in this list of files.
    
    <<environment>>=
    DEP=        vmlisp.lisp     ggreater.lisp   \
        hash.lisp       bootfuns.lisp   \
        union.lisp      nlib.lisp       \
        macros.lisp     comp.lisp       \
        spaderror.lisp  debug.lisp      \
        spad.lisp       bits.lisp       \
        setq.lisp       property.lisp   \
        foam_l.lisp      \
        axext_l.lisp

I'm not quite sure whether I want to commit this if it's quite unnecessary.  On
the other hand, I have no idea in which direction interp is heading.  Comparing
with OpenAxiom, the makefiles are entirely different...

Peter: is it necessary to use depsys when building the aldor interface?  (I
       have no idea what depsys is for, I must admit)

Gaby: As far as I remember, depsys was removed from OpenAxiom.  I have no idea
      whether somebody managed to build the aldor interface with OpenAxiom -
      could you please report?

Martin
