Does it?  Disabling algorithms with './Configure no-... ...' should
not require 'make depend' (when building from an OpenSSL release as
opposed to a snapshot version where the links in include/openssl are
missing).  Only if you remove the corresponding parts of the source
code tree you have to run 'make depend', and in this case you have
done manual changes anyway.

We could document this better, though.  Or check that all the header
files are there when Configure is run and do an automatic 'make depend'
only if some are missing.
