Comment(by charliejuggler):

 Turns out there is a 'generate dependencies' switch for modern MSVC,
 '-showIncludes'. I've attached a patch to replace makedepend with
 'xapdep', which parses the output of this and turns it into dependency
 information we can use.

 This is a rather big patch I'm afraid as it affects the whole build
 system. Also I'm not sure the files in xapian-maintainer-
 tools/win32msvc/xapdep have made it into the patch, as TortoiseSVN was
 telling me something about subfolders, so I've included these files in a
 second patch file (xapdep_sub).

 I'm happy to backport this to trunk if we think it's worth it.
