It can :), this was just an initial attempt. I do not claim that the Makefile
is complete as it is right now ;)

I actually thought that others might put something usefull in the else
statement. Since I use rosmake for everything and my time constraints are
tight I did not spend a lot of time in investigating what could go into the
else statement. Probably something like the following could suffice:

default:
mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..;make

I have not looked into the other projects since a never use them. I'll give it
a try when I have time.
