 Write explicit rules.
 
 SOMETHING.EXT: something.ext

Yes, but I'd rather not if it can be avoided. There are quite a number
of them
and it impacts readability, plus there's more to keep consistent
manually (after
the uppercasing other ops are done on the files.

At the moment I've used a default rule, which works, but doesn't handle
dependancy:

.DEFAULT:
   cp -f `echo $(basename $@) | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`.m $(basename
$@).m
   ../mumps/mumps $(basename $@).m 21

I'm afraid it can't.  Unix is case-sensitive, why shouldn't `make' be?

Well...  I suppose you could do something about it if you were willing
to get your Makefiles non-portable and use GNU make only, by using
$(shell ) magic.  Or you could write a script to generate the rules
and get them included in the Makefile with AC_SUBST_FILE or automake's
include feature.

But that's the whole issue. If unix weren't case sensitive we wouldn't
be having this discussion.

Totally acceptable.

 $(shell ) magic.  Or you could write a script to generate the rules

I'd appreciate pointers on how to accomplish this. I've not been using
automake very long and learning to abuse it would take some time :)

Write explicit rules.
