You don't need to - you can just use bundle.make.  It supports headers.  
The code supporting headers is precisely the same as used by libraries.

Add a 

HEADER_FILES = MyBundle.h
HEADER_FILES_INSTALL_DIR = MyBundle

to your GNUmakefile and you're ready to go. :-)

Just use bundle.make and add the variables to install the headers.
