Hi,

With the automatic dependency rule installed, modifying vl.h causes
all files to be recompiled. This is of course the correct action, but
it's a major slowdown for development too.

How should we split vl.h into smaller pieces? Give each device a
header file, like m48t59? What about other stuff exported from vl.c?
