I typically do this with ad-hoc command-line inventions like
$ echo -e "asdf:\n\techo \$(BUILT_DOC_IMAGES)\n-include Makefile" | make -f
/dev/stdin asdf
Is that simple enough to avoid having to define extra rules?

I'd probably use them if they were there :) If you think it's worth the
maintenance effort.
Might I suggest putting these types of rules in a build-aux/foo.mk
include file?
