There is no 4.1 release yet, so there is no SVN tag for it.  You can
check out the branch from
    svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gcc-4_1-branch

I imagine that you could apply sed to the output of -M and friends (or
the DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT environment variable).  Other than that I do
not know of a way.  Nor do I know of any plans to generalize this
feature, though I suspect that a clean patch would be accepted.
