Wikipedia is not the owner of the truth (although it may dream to register  
this as an owned trademark). I heard the same about Make, as what Ludovic  
said. And then, the first time I had to face this ugly Make (and its silly  
file format), was for C/C++. Typically, when you have to deal with a  
Makefile, this is about C sources (and if its big enough, you also have  
multiple sources of nightmare).

That's a fact that C compilers, cannot handle dependencies without the  
help of an external tool (add this to the preprocessor).
