Need help with implicit dependency scanner

[Anatoli Sakhnik-2]

Hi there!

Our project uses code generation, and the source code is split into
few files. They are included with a directive "//%include" or
something similar, and only the central one needs to be built.
However, if I update the included ones, the central one is not
rebuild, so implicit dependencies aren’t get into account.

Can anyone look into the attached archive (very tiny excerpt) and tell
me what’s wrong with the scanner?

Well, I've found out. It appears that naive pattern '(.*)' consumes
not only an unquoted file name, but also <cr> and other invisible
tailing characters. So using more sophisticated '([a-zA-Z1-9.]*)'
instead does the work.

Although I don't understand why ever <cr> appears in the matching
string, but the solution is enough for us. Sorry troubling.
