I'm not well-versed in grammar, but using 'depends on' here feels a bit
weird to me.  After consulting grammar references, it seems to me that
I've found the answer.

In *Collins COBUILD English Grammar 4th* (Section 3.210, titled
transitive verbs with an infinitive without _to_), it says:

> A few verbs are followed by an object and an infinitive without to,

It's somewhat like what we often call 'make the machine *work*'.  This
is my understanding.  If I misunderstood or missed something, please let
me know, I would be happy to submit v3 of the patch to fix the typo.

Best Regards,
Enze
