        Fair enough; but we could presumably easily tweak that such that a .hdl
and .hpp would be updated in lock-step; after all if the .hpp is not
changed - it necessarily includes the .hdl - so we didn't really gain
anything from not touching the .hpp :-)

        [ indeed, I'm sure there is one - but what is the benefit of separating
the .hdl files out, if we are sure that each .hpp will include all of
it's dependent .hpp's ? ].

        Sure sure - but we could conceptually tweak cppumaker to do the diff on
the pair and update both timestamps if one changes - and loose 25% of
our dependency rules with a trivial regexp :-)

        Great.

        Nice; it's easier to generate than send:

        git grep 'include.*\.hdl'

        only 127 instances luckily.

        ATB,
