Have you explored the following possibilities? They both seem simpler to me,
and more robust, than what you are doing now.

- Have a file in the top level directory that lists all the directories
  that may store .d files. When invoking mmake in that directory, include
  all the .d files in all these directories, not just the ones in the current
  directory.

- Add a new option to mmc that specified the name of the directory into which
  .d files should be put. You can then set up an Mmake variable to specify
  the name of the top level directory in all invocations.
