That said, making Drake's functionality at least available in library form does sound like a good idea. And the buildscript-wrapping system (for people who want it) can, of course, be built on top of that.
The functionality of the build tool should absolutly be built as a library, then creating a thin wrapper around the library which will be the actual tool the user invokes. This will allow to have the build tool built into an IDE or similar.
Have a look at Orbit, the install command for example: https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/orbit/blob/master/orbit/orb/commands/Install.d Just two lines to do the invoke the installer (which could be one line). -- /Jacob Carlborg
