OK. I followed up on this and have created a v1.0.0 release of what I think are useful functions. Of course, this is just my opinion and others may want/need other things. For those that are interested, please check out http://gmsl.sf.net/. There's documentation, a release of the code and a test suite. Should work with any GNU Make (it does automatic detection of $(eval) so that some functionality gets disabled if you are using GNU Make version < 3.80). I'd welcome comments in the Open Discussion forum on the SF site and once I get enough feedback I'll think about what needs to be added/changed. In the interim, if you have the time, please take a look at the library and give your feedback on the SF site.
