Ditching make entirely is what would make things easier (can you tell I hate 
make :-)

Newer construction tools, such as SCons (www.scons.org), handle dependencies 
automagically. They usually also provide a real programming language (python 
in the case of SCons), which makes it easy to add whatever build steps takes 
your fancy, instead of all the hacks with sed, grep, runner and co that the 
current make machinery is so fond of.

Such a change would require quite a bit of work though, and no build tool is 
as common as make is...
