The makefile creates several .make and .temp files that clutter a bit the
working directory. It could be a good idea to have their names start with a
dot, so that they are not shown in the default directory listings.

(and how I wish latex did that itself with all its .toc, .log, .aux stuff :) )

I agree that this is a mess, but given the way that Make handles filenames and patterns,
it is not feasible to do 
this (believe me, I thought of it before, and it's really, really hard, if not impossible).
