I guess I'd need some kind of globstar support in GNU Make to be able
to use that (and AFAIK there's no support), since MAKEFILEDIR contains
this:

$ find
.
./lint
./lint/man
./lint/man/man.mk
./lint/man/_.mk
./lint/man/mdoc.mk
./lint/_.mk
./lint/c.mk
./version.mk
./check
./check/_.mk
./check/catman.mk
./compress.mk
./make.mk
./verbose.mk
./cmd.mk
./dist.mk
./src.mk
./build
./build/pre.mk
./build/pdf.mk
./build/groff.mk
./build/html.mk
./build/ps.mk
./build/_.mk
./build/src.mk
./build/catman.mk
./install
./install/man.mk
./install/html.mk
./install/_.mk


Now you mention it, it might be interesting to add support for it.

Cheers,
Alex
