Except that if we do it at the same time 'make' isn't smart enough to pick up the dependencies from the .depend file. However, I'm not *real* sure why we even do the depend stage since we build everything anyway. One of the early tenents of the build process is that 'depend' shouldn't be necessary to build a utility correctly. One could probably remove the depend stage if you want. Nate
