win32 dependency generation

I just checked in a change to enable auto-deps for the win32 build (bug
167442). This means that dependencies for a source file will be
generated when the file is compiled instead of requiring a separate
build phase. This is the same default that the unix & mac gmake builds
use.

On average, this will speed up depend builds. However, it will slowdown
clobber-only builds as you will be unnecessarily doing the equivalent of
a depend step. You can disable this feature and return to the manual
dependency method by using --disable-auto-deps.

With auto-deps enabled, it is safe to just use client.mk's build_all
target, which enforces tier-level module dependencies (see bug 107302),
in lieu of the alldep target.
