For what it's worth, as much as I rag on Make, I also find myself using it most of the time. To paraphrase Churchil, it's the worst build system imaginable, except for all the others.

I would just really, really love a system like Make crossed with an imperative language for everything that doesn't fit well with the auto-dependency-tracking model. There's a product in there somewhere.
