If you have a variable containing all the different kinds of source, why
not just declare it explicitly:

  XMS_SOURCES = foo.xms bar.xms baz.xms biz.xms

  $(XMS_SOURCES:%=%.mk): xms.mkdepend

I think I have found a simpler way that avoids the processing overhead in the above substitution.
I simply have a separate pattern rule for each source file type:

%.xms.mk : %.xms /path/to/xms.mkdepend
/path/to/xms.mkdepend $< > $@
%.xmt.mk : %.xmt /path/to/xmt.mkdepend
/path/to/xmt.mkdepend $< > $@
etc.

No.

Thanks very much for your help.
