+Makedepend is a makefile dependency generator from The XFree86 Project, Inc.
+If you have X installed, you already have makedepend and do not need this port!
+
+Makedepend reads each sourcefile in sequence and parses it like a
+C-preprocessor, processing all #include, #define, #undef, #ifdef, #ifndef,
+#endif, #if and #else directives so that it can correctly tell which #include,
+directives would be used in a compilation. Any #include, directives can
+reference files having other #include directives, and parsing will occur in
+these files as well.
+
+Every file that a sourcefile includes, directly or indirectly, is what
+makedepend calls a "dependency". These dependencies are then written to a
+makefile in such a way that make will know which object files must be
+recompiled when a dependency has changed.
