Have you considered moving to CMake?  It makes lots of the issues you discuss 
in the document just go away.  cmake should work on the vast majority of 
supported operating systems, if not all of them ...

Subject: Single-Makefile Build Experiment report

As announced on the openssl-testing list, I'm happy to report early, promising 
success in my Makefile refactoring experiment. Here's the short link to the 
Google Doc containing all of the details:

http://goo.gl/yhvCno

Feedback welcome. Regardless of the ultimate judgment of the experiment, I'm 
hoping to build upon this report and produce a published article.

Questions:

- Do these results provide acceptable justification for adopting this 
structure? (With the understanding that I may have to redo bits, of
course.)

- Provided the answer to the first question is "yes", should I do whatever 
necessary to support BSD make, or will establishing GNU make as a build 
requirement be acceptable?

Thanks,

Mike
