+Sometimes, the generator file itself depends on other files, for
+example if it is a perl script that depends on other perl modules.
+This can be expressed using DEPEND like this:
+
+    DEPEND[asm/something.pl]=../perlasm/Foo.pm

+There may also be cases where the exact file isn't easily specified,

 NOTE: GENERATE lines are limited to one command only per GENERATE.
