Why the build script can't have a command line interface?
It could, but now the build script is a more complicated and for
little gain. Adding command line options on top of that to
configure the build would be painful.
It would be simpler and cleaner to write a D program to generate
the JSON build description for Button to consume. Then you can
add a command line interface to configure how the build
description is generated. This is how the Lua build descriptions
work[1].
