First a disclaimer: makedepend is only used in the old build system, new
build uses gcc to calculate dependencies. You might want to think about
updating to latest CVS :-)

Having said that, makedepend _does_ take a loooong time to run. Try it
on a PII 266 Mhz sometime :-) One of the reasons I started to update the
build system. The other was that makedepend, which is part of X11, was
difficult/impossible to find for mingw/msys
