## Message

```
`@cImport` works with `--cache on`

We pass -MD -MF args to clang when doing `@cImport`, which
gives us a complete list of files that the C code read from.
Then we add these to the cache. So even when using `@cImport`
Zig's caching system remains perfect. This is a proof of concept
for the mechanism that the self-hosted compiler will use to
watch and rebuild files.
