Yes, I have this working. I have a top level makefile that calls
make on each subproject, and in each subproject makefile, first I
define the variables specific to the project and then I include a
common.mk. It took me some time to have it working to my taste, you
will probably have to read the make manual thoroughly as I did.
There is another option, which I never investigated, there are many
other options for project compilation, like cmake or bjam.
