Comment(by charliejuggler):

 I've made the following changes to makedepend:
 * use a new #defined constant for buffer size, currently set to 4k
 * attempted to check any string copies or similar that use the above to
 prevent overflows
 * added some #pragmas and a #include - makedepend.exe now builds without
 any warnings
 * added some extra flags to the invocation of makedepend during the Make
 process - this has prevented the warnings it was generating, it seems it
 does understand all the #if directives used in Xapian after all.

 Of course #169 would be a better approach, but for now we have a cleaner
 solution for Windows using makedepend.
