evms make depend problems

Hello,

while packaging evms for the Open System Development Environment
(http://opensde.org) I ran into the problem, that the CPP call of
the make depend target bailed out with 'cpp: too many input files'

Testenvironment:
----------------
System: IBM xSeries 236, 226
Platform: Linux (2.6.18.3)
Target Architecture: x86-64
Target Optimization: EM64T
Compiler: gcc-4.1.1
LibC: glibc-2.5

I solved that issue by changing the way the depend files are created.
Instead of a single CPP call that includes the $(SOURCES) list I loop
over the list and call CPP -MM for each list item.

Attached is the patch of the mentioned change.

Cheers,
--Chris
