how to methodically generate a set of rules? |

i know i can do the following using one big pattern rule but it
would be cumbersome so can this be done with something approximating a
loop?
i have a fixed set of C source files, each of which, when compiled,
will generate a small set of individual object files, and i'd like to
somehow automate the rule generation for this.
e.g., if i have the source file s1.c which generates fred.o and
barney.o, and the source file s2.c which generates wilma.o and
betty.o, i want the rules (in simplified form):
fred.o barney.o : s1.c
... commands ...
wilma.o betty.o : s2.c
... comands ...
now, from each source file i'm given, i can *calculate* from its
contents the object files that will be generated so being able to
loop through the set of source files and generate each rule one at a
time would be terrific.
i don't *think* i can use "foreach" for this but i'd love to be
proven wrong. thanks for any pointers.
