Dan,

Should you wish for some ideas about how to go about creating an
eclipse-compatible make based build infrastructure, you might have a
look at some of the stuff I originally created for a work-in-progress
called xseq [1].

While the thing there called "configure" and its associated "Makefile"
are not modularized and so not exactly suitable for drop-in use by other
people, I've since reused that code in about 4 other projects (including
a build wrapper around libgtk-java, of all things), so I'm pretty happy
that the approach I took works rather well across a variety of
circumstances to identify pre-requisites and to facilitate compiler and
runtime selection.

It's not exactly an engineering priority for us at the moment, but if
you have any questions about the approach, don't hesitate to get in
touch. One of these days we're going to sit down and modularize it and
make it more broadly useful; in the mean time I'm still collecting ideas
and feedback. If anyone is interested in how it adapted for libgtk-java or
objective (our current shwerpunkt), let me know.
