in my case, a project is build from a collection of xPacks with dependencies between them. inside each pack there are multiple components, which being collections of source files or folders, again with multiple dependencies between them and from configuration options.
I'm not sure I understand your approach. how do you expect the user to manually maintain "a well structured Makefile" for this?
in my design each xPack contains all details required for the build (where are the source folders, where are the include folders, and what are the compile options for each folder/file), so automatically generating the Makefile is not only possible, but expected.

since you mentioned you'll be working on the indexer, please be sure that in the new design you do your best to match the options used by the indexer with those used by the build.
one temptation is to over-simplify things and assume all files are compiled with the same options/macros, but this is not the case, the indexer should be able to use different configurations for different folders/files.
