Do you mean automatic generation of makefiles from the project files? If
so, it doesn't make sense in Emacs, since Emacs doesn't support project
files.
The usual way to generate a Makefile-style dependencies automatically is
to use the -M or -MM switch to gcc. There is a command in Emacs which
will run an external program, catch its output and and insert it into the
file you are editing. If you run gcc -MM this way, you'll get a Makefile
rule inserted into the Makefile for every file that you compile.
What other features do you need to make Emacs behave ``like rhide''?
IMHO, Emacs is an IDE already, so it doesn't need an IDE mode.
