I have makefile dependencies, the problem is I have about..
   * 20 developers
   * working on different machines on different branches of the code.
   * and a background "clean build on checkin" process that does a clean
     compile, splint and links all 13 product variants. This currently
     takes about 2 hours.

The problem will only get worse as the number of variants increases.
