And the format of the output was approved by SG15 a while back.

With an active build tool (like build2), sure. But if you want to use
just the build graph executors (e.g., make, ninja), scanning is
necessary AFAIK.

That's the point of having the compiler be the one to extract this
information as part of the build. MSVC has `-scanDependencies` and GCC
will have something similar (currently `-fdep-file=` in my patch).
