(Not really a question for comp.lang.c., but...)

Try GNU Make. If any file foo.x doesn't exist, GNU Make will check whether
it can find a file foo.x,v or ./RCS/foo.x,v. If one of these exists it will be
checked out before Make proceeds with the next step towards the target.
There is no need to specify anything extra in your Makefile. It only takes one
weekend to read the GNU Make manual.
