I didn't know that.  Looking at, for example
http://antinode.org/ftp/wget/patch1/src/makefile.in_patch, I thought
it used the same set of dependencies as the rest of Wget.

But now I see that the vms/ subdirectory contains more advanced
dependency generation tools, unfortunately (unless I'm mistaken)
specific to VMS.
