Description
Today specifying -m as a parameter to mdpre creates a make file fragment from all the observed dependencies - whether text embeds or graphics referenced.
In my current co-authored Markdown document there are numerous files calling numerous other files. Getting the embed structure of the document is tedious.
It would be nice to have -m emit a tree of dependencies - commented so that make doesn't try to process them.

Research direction
Start at the mdpre entry point that handles the -m option and inspect how observed text and graphics dependencies are turned into the current make file fragment. Update the output so the dependency relationships appear as a commented tree that make will not process, then verify it with a document containing nested embeds.
