Polytron PolyMake is pretty good for the DOS environment. I can't say I like
the extensions which have been made to it (they're pretty untidy), but it is
amazing what can be done with it. It solves a lot of problems, and I'm doing
some fairly nasty directory searching and filename manipulation.

Of course, you should be using MK not MAKE; it's a lot cleaner.

Anyone care to direct me to a DOS version?
