Yes, without looking i was thinking about for each file, populate a list
of provides/needs mods and emit them when a file is done.

I did not look whether it is calling strlen on NULL or another spot in
the option handling, but i will not look at the current meaning of -M,
so please feel free to file this if you think it's worth noting it.
