The *.d depends files for make just list the files used when building an object file. Removing a file listed in such a dependency file causes make to search for a way to recreate it. This usually cannot work because these files aren't autogenerated.
The gcc option -MP can be used to generate empty rule for these files. Removing a file in a dependency list will then execute this empty rule and continue with the execution of the creation of the object file. This compilation process will then automatically correct the dependency file.

The name vis is to ambiguous and already taken by the batmand vis server. Distributions like Gentoo or OpenWrt would have a conflict between these packages just because they share a common name. This makes the situation unnecessary complex.
A better name may also help an user to find this tool.

This data can be anything which +appears to be useful - originally designed to replace the batman-adv +visualization (vis), you may distribute hostnames, phone books, administration +information, DNS information, the local weather forecast ... +.PP +alfred runs as daemon in the background of the system. A user may insert +information by using the alfred binary on the command line, or use special +programs to communicate with alfred (done via unix sockets). alfred then takes +care of distributing the local information to other alfred servers on other +nodes. This is done via IPv6 link-local multicast, and does not require any +configuration.

Applied the whole series (133331a, add63f6, ada988e, ea03057). I was a little unsure about the renaming thing (I don't like long names), but it's probably the best thing to do.
Thanks! Simon
