Wow, a pretty well constructed rant...you make me proud.

I would suggest scrapping Makefiles completely in favor of an XML
format. Makefiles are those kind of things that require a small furry
animal to be sacrificed and lots of voodoo to be done from scratch
because no one really is left who knows exactly how to make them
despite the volumes of books that have stacked up on the topic.
Magical tabs and spacies require late night rituals to get past...
Let it die. Projects or bust.
