Hi John, Just so you know, the franchise support for jhc relies on this patch. I've got it working to compile libraries and executables, but without this, it won't know when to recompile. There are still some issues like inability to specify C code to be compiled and linked (so far as I can tell), but for many users it should work fine.

Hi John,

Part of this is very hokey, since I had trouble tracking which files led to which libraries (your data types are a bit confusing).  I'm also flexible on the option naming and details (e.g. is it important to be able to handle filenames with embedded newlines?).  The idea, obviously, is to enable franchise to know when to rebuild.  It could also be used with Makefiles, so we might also prefer a more make-friendly output.

Oh, and it doesn't track dependencies on included files.  To do that, we'd need help from the C preprocessor, which would be nice to add--but not critical.
