speaking as someone who has detested make from the minute I encountered itsome 30 years ago, I think this is a big improvement. But it also makes me wonder why didn't you use scons? It seems like it does everything make it does only in a more easily understood way and has an established user base. for me the main resistance to using scons is that bumpy case words are significant accessibility impediment. For example, how would you pronounce "Build" and "build"? For most people they sound exactly the same. To differentiate requires a lot of additional noise either spoken or heard. ---eric _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
