Make shouldn't be involved in any serious work. It was designed for the
case where you have a handful of source files in a single directory. Its
use has gotten completely out of hand.

I sincerely recommend SCons for anything more serious. A word of
warning, though: SCons gives you the power of Python. Don't use that
power except in utmost need.
