This is (unfortunately) completely machine/OS dependant.

On systems where a script of some sort can produce an actual makefile I
think you might be able to get close to 'automagic' if it were possible
to put links to the desired external libs/includes/whatever into the
appropriate places in the code tree. Said script could then find them
and do the right thing(s)

For those of us with less intelligent machines I suppose we jsut have to
manually edit :-(
