Note that icc, clang, and xlc recognize the same -M* options as gcc (XLC
only implements a subset).  In some sense, the only guaranteed-correct
way to generate dependencies is with a real preprocessor, consider

  #include <someheader.h>
  #if defined SOME_MACRO
  #  include <otherheader.h>
  #endif

I realize that not all compilers offer this feature, but I suspect that
compilers that cannot generate dependencies are rare on a development
box.  In the other cases, the pessimal assumption (i.e. the current one)
could be made.
