example:
  src/A.hs (import src/B.hs with "import B")
ghc -M -odir out
depfile:
  out/B.o: src/B.hs -- this line is new, as said before
  out/A.o: src/A.hs
  out/A.o: src/B.hi -- this line referes to a .hi, which is not there, it is under out/B.hs

The original code in the makefile.lib replaced
	(basename input.hs) with (basename output.o)
and
	*.hi with *.o
which is a quite weird approach to the problem. I'am not sure but I think the new approach is better:
  	let the .o files be correct through the -odir flag
	replace (dir input)/FILE.hi with (dir output)/$FILE.o
However it is just a guess. The thing is that we have no rules for *.hs to *.hi. If so it would be easier.
A more general question: We doesn't -ohi dir/filename.hi is not reflected in the dependencies.
I tried:
> ghc -M -odir out -ohi out/A.hi A.hs
but nothing changed.

Okay it was my fault.
If all dependencies are resolved correctly then it works fine, also with ghc-6.4. Sorry!
The -i$({WXD|WXCORW|...}-SRCDIR) flags can be removed from the makefile.diff.
