Can I get SMAKE to stop bugging me about my funny file names
and just do what I want?

Unfortunately, SMAKE has too many smarts and defaults in it. Try MAKE.

Does MAKE support recursive makes? I mean, can I call MAKE from
inside a makefile? This is what I'm doing:

	MAKEFILE=dmars.mak
	LIBC	=lib\libc.lib

	$(LIBC): lib\$(MAKEFILE)
		cd lib
		make -f $(MAKEFILE)
		cd ..

but it seems to go into some kind of loop.

Yes. I do it routinely.


 This is what I'm doing:

 MAKEFILE=dmars.mak
 LIBC =lib\libc.lib

 $(LIBC): lib\$(MAKEFILE)
 cd lib
 make -f $(MAKEFILE)
 cd ..

The cd may not be working, so it may not pick up the makefile from the
subdirectory.
