Well, ultimately this is a shell script question not a make question,
and since you can probably count the number of make users using csh or
tcsh in their makefiles on one hand :), you're probably better off
asking on a shell programming mailing list or newsgroup.

Sorry I can't be of more help; maybe someone else here knows more about
csh syntax and can say how to properly write a while loop all in one
line.
