Time to abandon majordomo.  Lots of mlms have the ability to deal with 
sibling lists, sublists, etc.

If you are going to stick to majordomo I would suggest a hack - do the 
makefile bit to build the combined file, and run the make right out of 
Majordomo.  It is old crusty code, and you are not likely to get many 
patches.  Find the piece of code which deals with this and just add a 
system("cd /home/major; make")

If you doubt that magnet therapy works, I put to you this observation: When 
refrigerators were first invented, in the 1940s, they were rather 
unreliable, but then they became significantly more reliable. The basic 
design of the refrigerator did not change, and we all know that quality was 
important back then, so I doubt that newer refrigerators are made better. 
Refrigerators have become more reliable because of the rise of the 
refrigerator magnet.
