I don't think that really cuts it: make depend just does nothing here.
But I assume these DIRDEPS are needed to avoid the classic recursive
make problem of building something before the dependencies were built.

I found there's share/mk/gendirdeps.mk to build a Makefile.depend (using
some shell or python script), and share/mk/meta.autodep.mk to somehow
automate that process, but I just can't figure out how to actually use
any of that...

Or are you telling me all the Makefile.depend files in the tree are
deprecated and should be removed?
