That rather tedious enumeration is something that rarely changes and

sure sometimes this is true.
in other cases, it boils down to a human-written list that contains
files that were non-relevant from the beginning...

Which files are non-relevant that are included in extra/Makefile?

anyhow, i'm not so objecting enumeration, but i'm very much objecting
enumeration of files for extra/pd~/ in extra/Makefile. shouldn't they be
enumerated in extra/pd~/Makefile?


Or how about making 'extra' have a flat directory structure, that would also simplify things. The symlinking in the existing extra makefiles is horrendous, IMHO. I've wasted too much time on those kludges.
