Speed up dep target.

By default "make" removes intermediate files during the build. However,
some of the files generated by gengetopt are needed again later for
a different target.

This patch declares these generated files as "precious", so they
will no longer be removed. On one system the build time went down
from 30s to 25s due to this one-liner.
