Well, if you're willing to forego the RCS directory (TDI's and ncoast's
versions of SCCS don't have subdirectories, so I never bothered to use
RCS subdirectories), you can build RCS-handling make dependencies.  I
generally put an "include $(HOME)/.makedefs" in my Makefiles; this file
sets SHELL to /bin/sh (since I use csh) and sets up the following rules:

CO = co

.SUFFIXES: .c,v .h,v

.c,v.o:
	$(CO) -q $*.c
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $*.c
	/bin/rm -f $*.c

.c,v.c:
	$(CO) -q $*.c

.h,v.h:
	$(CO) -q $*.h

It works fine, with a standard SysIII/SysV augmake.  The only minor problem is
that .h files checked out don't get removed afterward; I usually keep .h files
checked out anyway, so it doesn't bother me much.
