The package is MESA 4.02 (renewed support for DJGPP thanks to contributer).
Never played with it? I didn't think so. It is just released and could be
buggy.

Actually, 'depend' could be anything. I know.
But sometimes it is a list of needed files, that can be generated by a dmake
utility, as far as I know (I don't have one, and the one in gnuish is for
Borland Turbo C (!!!!)

I just wanted to know about the 'include depend', that's all. I hear that
there is a 'dmake' but it was never ported to DJGPP V2, or ???

I thought there was something maybe I didn't know about. Any answers would
be of help.

Thanks
Ben
