I had the same problem, and I usually end up creating a rule and commands
that look like this:

$(TARGET_DIR)/%.a $(TARGET_DIR)/%.b $(TARGET_DIR)/%.c: %.src
        my_script $<
        mv $*.a $(TARGET_DIR)
        mv $*.b $(TARGET_DIR)
        mv $*.c $(TARGET_DIR)

Is that the end result you are looking for? I do not see how this burden 
could be on make itself...
