A lot of my day job involves a C project, not a particularly big one but 
it's a fundamental service to our business and requires changes to keep up 
with our Ruby stack.

I wasted at least 5 hours today fighting with GNU/Make, which by itself 
isn't so terrible but for non-trivial projects it can turn into a disaster 
pretty quickly.


Everything I was fighting with could have been solved in maybe 80 lines 
spread across two or three GPR files.



Grumble, I needed to vent :)
