Makefiles with extensions

See original GitHub issue

It seems to be fairly common practice to add file endings to make files, like Makefile.win for the windows version. See https://searchcode.com/?q=makefile.win&p=0&loc=0&loc2=10000

It’s probably easy to Makefile.win specifically as a special case because it’s common, but people also invent other extensions like .version_extra. I guess it’s reasonable to not support those? I’m not sure what other ones besides .win are common, but I don’t use makefiles too much.

What do you think?

Alright, fair enough.

Feel free to publish a new version, I’m gonna take a break from PRs for now. 😉 Besides, you release frequently enough that it doesn’t make a big difference if something’s “only” available next version.
