My OP:

I have the following make file:

-------------------------------------------
all: something else

.PHONY: MakeAppleJuice MakeOrangeJuice MakeTomatoJuice

MakeAppleJuice:
make_juice Apple.in.source  Apple.in.condition

MakeOrangeJuice:
make_juice Orange.in.source Orange.in.condition

MakeTomatoJuice:
make_juice Tomato.in.source Tomato.in.condition
-------------------------------------------

Is there anyway to combine the 3 rules into one? I hope there is, because
the 3 rules only different in what files they use and what juices then make
(but I still need the 3 phony targets).
