For me it has been the same approach defined in the macro writers handbook:
1. Do it manually until I know how it works.
2. Make sure that it works well in a couple other places.
3. Automate it
Sometimes it is just easier to explain to a human what is happening
when you use a makefile because if you are using noweb references then
you've already got a lot on your cognitive plate. My build is kind of
basic, but it depends upon your perspective.
The Makefile just makes it crystal clear, it prepares the document for
tangling or does the weaving, nothing more, and for now that works
fine.
Use the best tool for the job, by your definition.
