Directories should be created automatically when running bobs. The only
thing make should do is check that the httpd owner has sufficient access
to do this.

Tests of nfs, rsync should be a part of the admin interface. I would be
logical to have it there, since you would proably like to test a server
when you have created it. 
Make cannot check these things in a proper way.

I guess I'll have to read up on automake and autoconf.
I'll do that as my head gets better ;)

Keep up the good work.
