I think this is probably better handled using SUBPROJECTS, but it may 
be a matter of taste.  Look in core/back/Source for an example. 
Basically, in the top-level file you have:

LogTest_SUBPROJECTS = source

and in the source directory, use

SUBPROJECT_NAME=source
source_OBJC_FILES = foo.m bar.m ...
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/subproject.make
