Thanks for the tip. There are a few examples of using this function, mainly
inside of makefiles, like:
BTW, this option is among the dozens listed when a "cc1 --help" is executed
(not gcc --help ...it won't say anything about it, I guess because the
augment is really carried out by cc1 ... I think)... OK here is what I
found...

## gcc 3 implements dependency tracking that does exactly what
## we want.  Yay!  Note: for some reason libtool 1.4 doesn't like
## it if -MD -MP comes after the -MF stuff.  Hmm.
  "$@" -MT "$object" -MD -MP -MF "$tmpdepfile"

But I need a command-line solution.
