 From a post of allan's two days ago:

"There is a Makefile bundle, it does this, but it is *very*  
rudimentary (I wrote the build command, but I rarely ever work with  
Makefiles, so I didn’t spend much time prettying up the output)."

Basically there isn't good support because no one has made the  
support. You sound like you use makefiles enough to want good  
support; you should take a look around the other build commands  
(XCode, Rubymate, etc) to see how they do things, then you could see  
how best to add support for what you want. Then send the patch to the  
dev-list. :)
