A good starting point would be
http://www.research.att.com/~gsf/nmake/nmake.html
However, Glenn Fowler has a defined an intermediate language
for Makefile (called a Mamfile), which can be generated by
various versions of make such as GNU make and nmake.
He can convert programs to convert Mamfiles to different
make variants although the generated makefiles tend to
be far more verbose and hard to modify the hand written ones.
However, since many build systems tend to extract the relavent
information into some specification file (for example Makefile.in),
which then generates the makefile or contains includes,
it is often better starting with these to do the conversions.
I suggest that you contact Glenn Fowler (gsf at research.att.com)
and work with him on this if you would like to get the
two build systems to coordinate in some at least semi-automatic
fashion.
