In my case, I have a bunch of directories that hold HTML template
files.  Each page.html has a directory named page, and each directory has
its own Makefile.

all: index.html about.html fred.html

%.html: 
   cd $(basename $@) && $(MAKE)

I'm no make expert.  I haven't figured out how to (or if you can) make it
do rules like %.html without a suffix... (that is, give it a list of
directory names).
