Yeah; and it isn't always complete, because some graphs tend to get too
unwieldy so it has to prune (you can see this because some nodes show up
with red borders).
I am not sure it is really feasible to build a complete graph for all
headers. We have too many of them and too many dependencies.
Another useful graph to see is what files include a given header. A
funny thing is that doxygen doesn't always display this; for example
http://doxygen.postgresql.org/rel_8h.html
