1438431 - Remove mkdepend and "depend" make target

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: Build, enhancement)

Description

[Martin Thomson [:mt:]]

I think that it is time.  Building mkdepend by default was disabled in bug 79324.  Some work was done in bug 278132 to make it useful, but that never really turned into a supported part of the build infrastructure.  With gyp and ninja we have much better dependency management anyway.

I tried running `make depend` and it doesn't seem to do anything meaningful.  It does print an awful lot of warnings though.  

Close bug 278132 when this goes in.
