- I doubt the software knows to automatically update the makefile at periodic

- So, you're limited to two basic choices:
-
- 1) periodically run make depend depending on how frequently the need is
- to do this
-
- 2) make a cron job or queue up a request to make depend via 'at' for
- sometime in the distant future (say six months from now, depending
- again on how frequently you feel this data changes)
