 The problem is best illustrated by cad/MyHDL-iverilog. It includes
 cad/verilog/b3.mk which in turn includes devel/gperf/b3.mk.
 Due to the way dependencies are now computed, gperf is not showing up as
 direct dependency of MyHDL-iverilog anymore, but the buildlink phase
 expects it to be present.
 
 For install-depends, the tree really has to be flattened as well.
