Below is an extract from my Makefile's. Using this, it's relatively
simple to change to any suffix just by mv'ing the files and changing
the $(C) macro in the makefiles.

C= .cc

# I have files file1.cc, etc or file1.C, etc.
SOURCES = file1$(C) file2$(C) file3$(C) ...

# this is a SunOS 4.x make-ism
OBJECTS = $(SOURCES:%$(C)=%.o)

# rule to convert any $(C) c++ source file into a .o object file
$(C).o:
	$(CC) $(OTHER_USEFUL_FLAGS) -c $<
	
$(PROGRAM): $(OBJECTS)
	$(CC) $(USEFUL_LD_SWITCHES) $(OBJECTS) -o $(PROGRAM)
