I agree it's nicer to have it in one file but I'm not sure how to make
it work, because the Makefiles are hard-coded to use the variables
GARVERSION etc and there are many of them so I am not sure how to
translate the _ALPHA version to be used.

What can work is to create a separate directory tree

   alpha/xnee/Makefile:

   override GARVERSION = 3.07.91
   override MASTER_SITES = $(MASTER_GNU_ALPHA)
   override MASTER_SUBDIR = xnee/

   include ../../gnu/xnee/Makefile

and then make -C alpha/xnee

I've just checked in a test version of that if you want to try it.
