-i is great and I've started with -i in my last project that uses 
Makefiles. For now, I went back to manual dependencies by listing all 
the modules explicitly. Otherwise, 'make' did not know modifications to 
the -i files. I think I will incorporate the -deps switch later.

Of course, this is not a point against -i but I wanted to point out that 
dependencies must still be taken care of some other way.
