A makefile generator might be useful, but what would really be useful
is a makefile checker.  All my makefiles for work in progress are filled
with comments and special cases (program too large to put temporary
files in a RAM disk, etc.).  So a utility which could read an existing
makefile (and sources) and verify that the dependencies were correct
and that no extra routines were included in the linker lists would
be helpful.
