How do I handle building complicated and large LaTeX projects?

Is there a makefile system (like GNU Make) or should I just write my own shell scripts (what I'm doing now)?

LaTeXMk is a Pearl script that is very intelligent about different TeX systems, whether or not you need bibtex or mkindex run, how many times to run it, etc.

Give it a shot!
