I have been talking with Richard about a more abstract command (and
maybe edit) interface for TeXShop. On my request, quite a while back,
Richard added the 'custom script' possibility to TeXShop as a fix for
doing sort of what you want. But you would need to write a script that
takes the argument and figures out what make command to give, so this
might not be a solution.
Given Richard's and my schedule, it will take a while before major
changes will take effect. I hope to be able to propose a few quick
patches to Richard before the whole thing is changed.
