Thanks for the reply. It isn't that I want to do this. Some folks within 
the group said
that if we are going to use the automake/autoconf model, we should be able 
to do this
kind of make rules. I can post the taget examples that they proposed, but I 
didn't
want to waste too much bandwidth. I'm reading on writing my own Macros, but I'm
having a hard time grasping the syntax.
