How does it deal with configuration tests, and dependencies on such
tests?

What I'd like to have is for source code to be scanned not only for
#include, but also for #ifdef HAVE_BLAHA_H etc, and have only such
files recompiled if the value of HAVE_BLAHA_H changes (for example
because I add a new include directory, or install a new dev package).
