Here is an example build description for DMD:

I'd say that's a lot easier to read than this crusty thing:

Yes, the syntax looks nice.
Cool. Difference in size is also large. Do they do the same
things? -- Andrei
Not quite. It doesn't download a previous version of dmd for
bootstrapping and it doesn't handle configuration (e.g., x86 vs
x64). About all it does is the bare minimum work necessary to
create the dmd executable. I basically ran `make all -n` and
converted the output because it's easier to read than the
Makefile itself.
Building from scratch takes about 7 seconds on my machine (using
8 cores and building in /tmp). Make takes about 5 seconds. Guess
I need to do some optimizing. :-)
