	It isn't misleading.  "Include deps" means, "include the
dependancies in the makefile" rather than letting the compiler figure it
out.  While most compilers can output dependancy information, some (xlc
is the one I added) cannot do it during the compile.  Instead you get
to choose either "output dependancies" or "compile".
