The compile module (http://erlang.org/doc/man/compile.html) supports 
generating Makefile rules to track header dependencies via the `makedep' 
option.  You can also invoke this via erlc's `-M' option.

This may not be the solution to Attila's integration build dependency 
problems, but I feel it is worth mentioning in the context of this thread.
