Well, this is what I use. Basically it relies on standard make 
features, so it works with e.g. nmake too (with minor adjustments)

# ---
# The directories that contain the program's components:
SUBDIRS = src lib doc

# This sets 'all' to be the default target:
all:

# This runs make once again on this makefile, purpose is
# to get the target placed into a variable:
all clean install:
   $(MAKE) TARGET=$@ $(SUBDIRS)

# This tells gnumake to always 'make' into the directories 
# regardless of their timestamps:
.PHONY: $(SUBDIRS)

# This finally makes the target in all subdirs:
$(SUBDIRS):
   $(MAKE) $(TARGET) -C $@
