Can you expand on this? The idea is that those implicit deps are in
addition to regular dependencies, not a replacement.

One problem I have with this change is that it breaks part of my patch ;-)
I'd like to run two commands, one to build a pch, and another to compile a
source file using the just-built pch, and if the first fails I don't want
to run the second: `make_pch && compile`. This part still works after your
patch. But we also have a flag /fallback that says "if compilation falls,
try again with this other compiler. Ideally I want `(make_pch && compile)
|| fallback_compile`, but since it's a bit of a corner case and arguably
good enough, my patch did `make_pch ; compile || fallback`. Your change
makes it impossible to run commands after one another if one fails, so now
this is `make_pch && (compile || fallback)`, i.e. if compilation of the pch
fails the fallback compiler won't be invoked.

I can try looking at maybe making FallbackCommand a FallbackAction instead
or something. But since CUDA seems to not fit the internal model of the
driver super well (lots of isCUDA() calls in many places), maybe it'd make
sense to discuss what your requirements are and if it's possible to extend
the Action / Job / Command abstractions in a way that support CUDA without
as many special cases. I happen to be in Mountain View – if you're in the
office tomorrow, maybe we could discuss this for half an hour or so in
person?
