`find-file' may fail in the case where the current window does not allow
switching buffer (e.g. it's a minibuffer window, or a dedicated window).

It all depends on whether you expect that the files might already be loaded
in a buffer and whether the user would find it convenient or annoying that
the Makefile file is automatically loaded.
