Makefile madness

Whenever I start a new project, there is one single thing I hate the most: maintaining a makefile. (Relatively) long time ago I found the article "Recursive Make Considered Harmful". It is both a critique of recirsive make, and a guide on how to write a good makefile.

I bit the bullet, applied the recipes given there (it didn't even take much time), and so far so good: it discovers automatically newly added files and dependencies maintain themselves. Without resorting auto*madness :)
