        I had the misfortune to hack on build.pl before :-) and your patch
looks reasonable to me. I'd love to have it in for 3.6 ... I didn't
checkout the branch and/or I couldn't make the make command that dumps
the deps work but I assume the parsing logic is fine. We may have some
explicit \r\n removal nonsense on windows (chomp has never worked well
for me there for some - prolly cygwin related reason) - but lets see.

-    my $modcount = %modules;
 
     return %modules;

        seems redundant in get_tail_build_modules.

         # insert dep. on tail_build, if necessary
         if (@tail_build_deps && !defined $$deps{$tail_build_prj}) {
             $$deps{$tail_build_prj} = 1;
         }

        The !defined looks redundant until you read get_parent_deps which has a
count of the deps in there.

        So - it all looks fine really :-) [ at least to me ]

        Thanks !

                Michael.
