You're completly right. When I made the patch to add dependencies
tracking (2007), I didn't knew about parse transform and totally forget
the behaviours. I'll fix this when I have some spare time.

Concerning the "Pbeam pollution", I kept GCC's behaviour, because my
goal was to add Erlang support to automake and I didn't want to mess up
too much with automake's code.

I'll fix the -MF option to be able to write all rules to one Makefile
(or add another option).

Thanks for your feedbacks to both of you!
