Even though it's more elegant, I don't think there's any norm saying that the
building system should depend on makefiles. In fact there are a lot of
packages  that don't. Having said this, anyway, I guess that GNU Make is quite
a nice building system.

It seems that sdlBasic goes towards some quick n dirty building system based
in shell scripts, which in turn end up calling some makefiles:

usr/src/sdlBasic/src/compile.sh:
cd sdlBasic
./compile.sh
cd ..
cd sdlBrt
make os=linux
cd ..
cd sdlBrt/SDLengine
make os=linux
cd ../..
cd sdlBrt/BASengine
make os=linux
cd ../..
cd sdlBrt/unzip
make os=linux
cd ../..

usr/src/sdlBasic/src/sdlBasic/compile.sh:
cd scintilla/gtk
make
cd ../../gtk
make
cd ../

I guess that a global makefile doing something like the follofing commands
would do:

$(MAKE) -C sdlBasic/scintilla/gtk
$(MAKE) -C sdlBasic/gtk
$(MAKE) -C sdlBrt os=linux
$(MAKE) -C sdlBrt/SDLengine os=linux
$(MAKE) -C sdlBrt/BASengine os=linux
$(MAKE) -C sdlBrt/unzip os=linux

Of course, the whole building system is kind of a mess, is upstreaming willing
to change it?
