multiple directories support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a suggestion for future capability.

I get an error when I try to `make' with my current setup. It is probably
an easy thing to fix, but I have little Makefile experience to date. I'd be
happy to read up & help you implement this capability if you are interested.

mjs_beamer_poster/src$ make
make: *** No rule to make target `logos/mit/S4_G_W_W.EPS', needed by
`mjs_beamer_poster.d'.  Stop.

I have in my LaTeX source a call: 
\includegraphics[height=0.05\paperwidth]{../logos/mit/S4_G_W_W.EPS}

I usually organize my large LaTeX projects into several subfolders. I
thought that using a GNU make engine to manage building the files was the
next logical step. It seems there will need to be some changes to the
Makefile to get it to work in this fashion.

mjs_beamer_poster
  -  src
     -  Makefile
     -  Makefile.in
     -  mjs_beamer_poster.tex
     -  beamerposter.sty
     -  beamertheme0.sty
  -  doc
     -  mjs_beamer_poster.dvi
     -  mjs_beamer_poster.ps
     -  mjs_beamer_poster.pdf
  -  logos
     -  mit
        -  S4_G_W_W.EPS
     -  python
        -  python-logo-generic.eps
  -  figures
     -  results0.eps
     -  results1.eps
  -  tables
     -  result_statistics.tex
  -  algorithms
     -  kalman_filter.tex

...etc

Meant to list this as an `enhancement'

Real support for multiple directories is not planned using the makefile.   It's 
impossibly hard to do it at all, let 
alone correctly :-(
