Default make depend?

it would probably be a good idea to add a "depend" target to the top level makefile. i would add it myself, but i'm pretty much a nub WRT makefile crafting.

when unpacked my server into its new home after an OS upgrade from slackware 10.2 --> 11.0, i had lots of broken dependencies. i had to manually run make depend in the subdirs, which wasnt terrible, but for someone less versed in using makefile style build systems, having a top level target would alleviate that need.
