A useful feature of makefiles (and, for that matter, SQL queries) is 
that you can annotate them and tell the viewers why you're doing 
something and warn them of subtleties in your technique.

Apart from that I'm using something like what you describe for the final 
executable, ordered as  B5k5-$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)-$(LCLWidgetType) 
since that seems to be the best match to e.g. Debian naming conventions.

I've also looked at putting a timestamp in DLL names, but that turned 
out to be far more complex and I ended up running a separate "Execute 
after" command.
