I have lots of 'new' makefiles for various things in my 'CoCoC' project, if
examples are helpful.

For example, <
https://github.com/Deek/CoCoC/blob/master/Source%2FText%2FGrep%2FMakefile>
the Grep Makefile builds 3 programs (one of which generates its C source
from a YACC grammar) and has 'install', 'uninstall' and 'clean' targets to
install the programs and their help files into the appropriate locations,
remove the installed files if you want, and clean up the source directory
so the old object files don't clutter it up.

The same directory contains a 'GNUmakefile' that does all the same things,
but for the Unix/Linux versions of the programs.

I can also answer questions in my copious free time, heh.
