rohagaboom:

Update: Thanks, that's *much* easier to read!

I've read the dialog between you and afoken and found it interesting. I haven't downloaded the code yet and given it a try, yet, but I'll try to do so soon. I tend to agree with afoken in that make isn't really that difficult to use (though I tend to disable all the built-in rules and just build what I want by hand). But I like the idea of using hashes to detect changes, too, so it might be interesting.

I can't promise to try it any time soon (as I'm swamped at $work right now), but if I do give it a go, I'll try to update my post to let you know what I think.

I never thought I'd ask someone to remove code tags from a post, but there's a first time for everything, I guess....

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
