Yes, and here jam is supposed to handle dependencies, so we don't
need to worry about them. There are many dependencies that naturally
exist, since applications and drivers need functionality from
specific libraries or the kernel. You can't just put everything into
one
directory and compile one really big, all including, file.
Oh wait, you can. But thats not useful.
