+ Improved: In all directories, including those for tutorial
+ programs, we generate a file called <code>Makefile.dep</code>
+ that lists the dependencies of object files on source files,
+ and that the <code>make</code> uses to determine which files to
+ recompile. If the generation of this file failed (for example
+ if <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> hadn't been set correctly), a
+ number of very strange things would happen, among others the
+ attempt to link an empty object file. This was almost
+ impossible to figure out if you didn't know what was going
+ on. This mechanism has now been robustified and should yield
+ better error messages.
