I just tried to fix this, but it didn't seem to work. My thoughts were:

*/index.$(LANGUAGE).html: %/index.$(LANGUAGE).html: $(wildcard $*/*/index.wml)
      $(wildcard $(ENGLISHSRCDIR)/News/weekly/$*/*) \
      $(TEMPLDIR)/weeklynews/header.wml \
      $(TEMPLDIR)/weeklynews/index.wml \
      $(TEMPLDIR)/weeklynews/footer.wml

This was just a guess based on the info in the make manual, and it didn't
work. Looks like $* can't be used in the DEP-PATTERNS part, only COMMANDS.
Using % instead of $* doesn't work, either.

Does anyone have a hint?
