This might take some time before it's done.

You can still implement it without having the multiple FRAMEWORK_NAME
entries.  For example (untested code, just drafting to give an idea) -

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make

gswnames = all

ifeq ($(gswnames),all)
FRAMEWORK_NAME = 
all::
        @echo ""
        @echo "building the framework with GSW names..."
        @echo ""
        $(MAKE) gswnames=gsw
        @echo ""
        @echo "building the framework with GSW names..."
        @echo ""
        $(MAKE) gswnames=wo
else
  ifeq ($(gswnames),gsw)
    FRAMEWORK_NAME = NAME_A
  else
    ifeq ($(gswnames),wo)
      FRAMEWORK_NAME = NAME_B
    endif
  endif
endif

[... et cetera ...]

Please note that this is quite Ok :-) ... except it's going to be less
efficient than having support for multiple FRAMEWORK_NAMEs in gnustep-make
- but I don't think you should care as we're talking of little
inefficiencies.

You can also have it only at the top-level - if you have a single
top-level GNUmakefile which uses aggregate.make and SUBPROJECTS, it's much
simpler and nicer -

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make

gswnames = all

ifeq ($(gswnames),all)

SUBPROJECTS = 

all::
        @echo ""
        @echo "building the frameworks with GSW names..."
        @echo ""
        $(MAKE) gswnames=gsw
        @echo ""
        @echo "building the frameworks with GSW names..."
        @echo ""
        $(MAKE) gswnames=wo

else

SUBPROJECTS = FirstDir SecondDir ThirdDir
export gswnames

endif

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/aggregate.make

This is quite nicer.  I'd definitely suggest using this second way if you
can.
