I am planning to use the ".make.state" file to hold hidden dependencies.
Since we use 3rd party cross tools, the dependency list will not get
updated automatically.

We are using SunOS 4.0.3c and plan to upgrade to SunOS 4.1 soon.  Are
there any caveats in adding one's own dependency lists in this file?
Further, how does the make program read this file?

Any advise would be appreciated.
