O'Reilly and Associates have a book out called "UNIX Text Processing",
which is published by Hayden, that has a shell script on page 566 that
builds a makefile.  Of course, this is oriented toward n/troff tasks,
but you can modify it for any environment.  This is left as an exercise
for the reader :-).

If you fancy yourself as a n/troff hacker or want to know more about
UNIX text processing, I highly recommend this book.  It and Gehani's
"Document Formatting & Typesetting on the UNIX System", Silicon Press,
are the best I've seen.
