Multiple targets with one command

[Martin Schröder]

Hi,
I am generating source files from TeX documentation by using
docstrip. This generates n files in one step. The obvious rule

file1 file2 file3 : source.dtx source.ins
        latex source.ins

will execute the command once for each file -- while every
executing of the command generates all files.

Patterns are not really a solution as the names of the source
files don't depend on the target names; i.e. there would normally
be no % on the right side of the rule. Older versions of gnu make
(which I have to cope with) don't like this. :-{

Is there any technique to handle this with rules and not loose
the listing of every file as a target?

Thanks in advance
        Martin
