I looked into this a little. I think I am going to leave the code
as-is. It isn't so bad this way, and changing it is a bit tricky for
the general case, because I think we'd need to use secondary
dependencies to make %.o pre-depend on its corresponding dependency
directory. I'd rather not do this, since secondary dependencies are
pretty obscure.
