Note to Microsoft Win 98 and NT users.
  chmod  command does not appear to be fully functional either.  These 
problems are probably related.  The only permission that can be altered is 
that of the owner(o).  Makedepend seems to be failing along same 
deficiency.  Looking forward to your critique Suhaib.

I am not aware of any bugs in makedepend.  It maybe
tcl issue.  Please check with tcl mailing list.  You
may try using GccMakedepend, which works better with
GCC.
