I'm rewriting the Linux makefile. The existing one works well and is

It uses weird string expansions and stuff.
Back when I wrote it that was the only method I could find to avoid
repeating a lot of stuff for all OSs, builds, unittests, etc.
Recently, inspired by Walter, I decided to go with a different
approach that relies on recursive make invocations. That simplifies
matters drastically: no more string expansions, no more '$$', no more
crap.
By this I'm asking you what you'd like to see in the makefile. What
are the builds that you need and use, and what builds you'd like to
use that aren't there?
make clean => removes all targets built by the makefile
make zip => creates a zip file of all the sources (not targets) referred
to by the makefile, including the makefile
make release => makes release build of the library (this is also the
default target)
make doc => makes html documentation
make debug => makes debug build of the library
make unittest => builds all unittests, runs them, deletes all built
unittest files upon successful completion
make install => copies library to /usr/lib
