alternative uses of "make"

(For those who don't know what "make" is, please look up the man page.)

The ability of make files to check dependencies and freshness of files
make it a nice tool to use for constructing a website, updating the
html files automatically.

The C pre-processor could be used to do the include's and define's, and
it could be set as the default "compiler" with CC=cpp.

I was wondering if anyone know of "pre-processors" designed
specifically for html? I'm almost certain there are some.

I haven't actually tried to set this up yet - I'm wondering if there are
better alternatives to this idea already out there.
