Without seeing the source code, it is difficult to provide useful help.

If the 20 different things are all set up through a common autoconf 
configuration file, it's probably best to write one recipe for the whole 
thing, and then split it into sub-packages after it has been built.

How does the configuration/compilation/insallation procedure look like? 
What are the commands you need to type?
