    Subjectmkdep.c cosmetic patch
    Linus,
    Here is a (mostly cosmetic) patch for you... I have found your mkdep.c
    so useful, I have already stolen it, and am using it in another project
    I am working on. :-) I think adding something like the following patch
    will help make sure credit is given where credit is due. After all, I
    expect there are probably lots of other people who will steal this
    program and use it for other things. Lets make sure that you get the
    appropriate glory...
    -Erik
