Sorry, I just meant that to be used as an example to show what was going
on.  From my understanding of your problem, I didn't think it would be
useful.

Would something like this solve your problem?

def figure_out_names
  # This should return a list of names
end

# assuming that figure_out_names() returns the names w/o the ".c" extension
list_of_names = figure_out_names()
list_of_names.each do |name|
  task name + ".c" => name + ".xml"
end

task :default => list_of_names.map {|n| n + ".c"}

rule '.c' => ['.xml'] do |t|
  p t.name
  p t.source
end

--wpd
