I have set up a system where my developers can make simple makefiles
like this:

  PROGRAMS = myprogram
  myprogram_OBJ = one.o two.o three.o

  PROGRAMS += herprogram
  herprogram_OBJ = two.o three.o four.o

  include ../../davesrules.mk

And davesrules.mk creates and includes a .mk that has all the actual
dependencies between programs and objects.  There are actually a lot
of other requirements that I'd rather not go into that make the
obvious "myprogram: one.o two.o three.o" statement unusable in my
situation.
