Alright, here it is.

I am not sure my non-standard style of casing/etc will be to your liking, but 
its just a draft to show its possible :)

No, I don't have /bin and /usr/bin on seperate partitions, and yes, I see the 
problem of having extra dependencies here.  But as people already explained, 
it is resolvable either by using a minimake (I'm willing to write one, that 
would just be able to run the commands necessary for the /usr/bin/make to 
become available, which means that the first steps in the boot process will 
not be able to use the more powerful Make features (Don't think it would be a 
big deal, though).

All the information I used was the output of ls /etc/rcS.d /etc/rc4.d   :)
Then, I moved all /etc/rc*.d into /etc/old, and put empty directories instead 
of them all, with /etc/rcS.d containing the Makefile, with a 'start' rule 
that depends on everything I want started.   This is obviously not a good 
final scheme, but it works for the draft :)

Yes, I know its not very clean, this is why its just a draft, a 5-minute one, 
at that :)
Also, I think the dependencies should be specific with much finer granulity 
than they are in this Makefile (dependencies on /usr/ being mounted, etc)
