 Me either.
 
 In other (smaller) situations where I've wanted this functionality
 I've generally set up separate "prog.mk" and "progs.mk" (or
 "manyprogs.mk" or whatever) make fragments with the common stuff
 shared under the covers. But refitting our stuff to work this way
 would be a fairly miserable job I think.

 It's probably better just to make more directories. :-/
