Basically, that would be like in the gimp source tree: every directoryhas its own Makefile and manages only its own files (or calls make inits sub-directories).
The disadvantage is that you have more Makefiles to maintain.  Theadvantages are that each Makefile has to take care of less files (sono more "argument list too long") and you can also run "make" or"make install" in a sub-directory without having to rebuild the wholetree.  This is useful if you have modified one file and you want tosee how the output looks like with this modified file without havingto run "make install" from the top-level directory.
