There's no reason why you can't automatically build a makefile from
a list of dependencies embedded in the scripts.  The script to do this
would be very similar to the script used to generate the input to tsort.

I think the concept of allowing arbitrary `run level' names with
arbitrary dependencies is more important than whether it is implemented
using tsort(1) or make(1) to resolve the dependencies.
