[MITgcm-devel] default makedepend

[Patrick Heimbach]

Hi Jean-Michel,

fine with me, especially if it makes us less dependent on platforms
(and also on the MAXFILES issue on some platforms).

If we do that, could we omit the single-quote warning
to the extent that it actually doesn't matter?
It certainly tricked me the first time into thinking something
was wrong, when in fact it had no impact.

Cheers
p.
