Ah, I thought you meant the "write a loop to compile every source
file..." part.
Yeah, there are tools out there that automate makefile making. Automake
is one of them.
In a nutshell, it boils down to writing a convoluted Automake script to
avoid writing a convoluted Makefile.
On the upside, you don't have to worry about tab characters anymore. Yay!

Well, it's a kiosk Linux system. It's designed to run one application.
What do you need manpages for?
On the one hand, you can always look it up on the Internet. On the other
hand, the manpage you read in the Internet may or may not match the
version of the tool you actually have installed. :-P
Also: Certain commands are not safe for Google.
"man cp" That's fine
"man cron" Also fine.
"man kill" Less fine.
"man bash" Be careful.
"man head" Caution.
"man tail" Er...
"man trap" Abort! Abort!
"man mount" >_<

no need to take "risks". there's "The Linux Documentation Project"
(http://tldp.org) which has man pages and much else besides. also, for
actual GNU softwares, I'd use their site to get to the docs.

I like to use http://linux.die.net/man/
Many sites host manpages, but the text is all mangled. This seems to be
one of the few that has legible text. And it's nicely searchable.
OTOH, there's again no guarantee that the version listed here matches
what OpenSUSE happens to provide.
