[comp.unix.questions] makefiles

Is there a way to form a dependency in a makefile like:

doit: /pathname/*/*


I have a directory structure like:

					| pathname
					|
   ----------------------------------------------------
   |                |           |       ....          |
  xyz              abc         123                   hij
   |                |           |                     |
   |                |           |                     |
-------        ----------     --------            ---------
|     |        |        |     |      |            |       |
a     b        c        d     e      f            g       h


I don't want to have dependencies for each directory directly under 
pathname (i.e. xyz, abc, 123, hij).  The target, 'doit' is to
be made up by taking actions on any of the directories that
are out of date.

Thanks,
