ENH: cmMakeDepend::GenerateDependInformation will now use hints regardless of whether the actual file exists. This can be used to add dependencies to .h files which are generated but included in hand-written .cxx files. If the .cxx does exist, though, it will be used first, and the hints will be used afterward.
