I like this idea. It also solves the dependency problem.
Can a make file 'include' be set to take in anything with a given
extension (a la ".INCLUDE *.startup.mk")?

Or we just go back to the control file concept (:-), but have it be
a makefile, so depenencies are simple (and no longer file order specific).
