Lot's of things e.g. SDL, GTK+ come with little scripts to add to your 
command line e.g.:

will@dogfox:~$ gtk-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi 
-lXext -lX11 -lm

As to whether it is worth writing teh script you mentioned, I'm not sure. The 
pain of changing the Makefile is pretty minimal when compared to the pain of 
writing the code in the first place. :)
