    I think this is a great idea, I only wish I could believe that
it is feasible ;-)

Do you assume that every program will successfully start ?

Maybe you can recursivly invoke make with something like this:

# Main makefile
#
%-start:
        $(MAKE) -f start.mk $@ || \
        $(MAKE) -f cleanup.mk $(patsubst %-start,%-cleanup,$@)


Just a thought, Good luck!
