I also couldn't find a license information on the Be Developer Tools
package which would suggest something for the included makefile-engine.

"mkdepend" for that, but neither of us remembers where it came from or if
Ingo even wrote it himself perhaps. Going to check...
I think that the makefile-engine that is part of Zeta is a much better
makefile_engine than the BeOS makefile-engine. It always recompiles
dependent objects when header files change, and also does some other
things better. In fact, I use the Zeta makefile-engine for building the
video drivers during development of them.
