IIRC emaste added this script recently. It used to be a bunch of commands directly in the top-level Makefiles, but this was getting a bit annoying to maintain. What's more, it was difficult to test the commands separately from the rather heavy "let's do a full buildworld" scenario. So now it is just a shell script, and you can run it by hand to test if any changes you're making to it work as expected, before committing. (Note that I consider all the "depend cleanup" stuff to be a fig leaf for a rather glaring deficiency in our build system. An ugly kludge. :) -Dimitry
