Summary:                    Enable using system dependency scanner
Description: 
As described in http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#CMake_dependency_scanner ,
cmake dependency scanner will add as dependency headers all those for which a
#include clause is detected in a source file, no matter whether the include is
within a #if 0 or a /** **/ comment.
This is rather inconvenient, specially if the include is in a header, as it
causes too many recompilations. As header dependency functionality is already
provided by gcc -M (which does takes #if and comments into account), it would be
nice to add the possibility to use native dependency scanner
