Summary: add "-showIncludes" to preprocessor

Initial Comment:
The preprocessor of the Visual C++ compiler "cl" has a great feature for 
automatic dependency tracking. It allows you to specify the option 
"-showIncludes" that will make the preprocessor output a list of which header 
files the source file depends on, this list can then be used as dependency 
rules in a Makefile. This is reallly an important feature as it assures 
consistent builds and relieves the programmer from the headache of manually 
writing the dependency rules.
Since the idea behind "candle" is that it should be useable in traditional 
buildsystems just like "cl" it would be great if the preprocessor in "candle" 
had a 
"-showIncludes" option just like "cl".
