meooowww!  :-)  but at the risk of dragging this even further
off-topic, i am *constantly* asked by people how to set up makefiles
for their software project, and what would be nice is a small
collection of examples of a makefile (or makefiles) done *right*.  as
in, properly recursive, supports cross-compiling without having to
remove your left nad, etc, etc.

so ... would anyone like to recommend a software package or two
somewhere whose makefile(s) is/are, ITHO, done well?  that i/we could
just point at and say, "do it like that!"  anyone?  anyone?  bueller?
