Do you know that cmake can (basically) do this for you ?
If you run cmake --graphviz=<filename> it will generate a dot file with the 
dependencies.
It may be that this feature is somewhat broken, and could also need some more 
polishing, but if somebody is interested in getting these dependencies, this 
would be a good way to get something which is then useful for everybody.
