hi
moved this to pd-dev, as i think this is more appropriate....

That's the vague idea of the current makefiles there. But since many people didn't want to change the existing makefiles within each library folder, almost everything is stuck into externals/Makefile.
that's why i would suggest something as simple as using "Makefile.extended" which could live besides an existing "Makefile" and make use of it (if this is feasible).
we then schould provide a generic Makefile.extended for building those externals that do not need any more specific handling.
i would suggest following targets: configure, build (default), install, clean
and the rest is in the Wiki http://puredata.info/dev/ModularBuildSystem (by chance i sent the Wiki announcement before this email...)
