I can recommend omake (http://omake.metaprl.org/index.html). My company 
uses it for a large project with many directories, several source 
languages, some tricky preprocessing, under Unix and Windows (MSVC and 
MinGW toolchains). We have been very happy with it.

omake would add an extra build-time dependency to LLVM (i.e. it does not 
generate "native" Makefiles and project files), but I think it's worth 
considering it.
