Ideally it would be part of the programming environment itself, handling
dependencies ant the like essentially transparently; one of the reasons
we're stuck using such crappy toolchains is because of the low-level
view of the underlying system: an excellent example is source-files --
why would you want to have these stored *natively* as text? that's a
/huge/ step down from storing it as some sort of datafile (eg an AST)
with real rules/formats.
Make and the like tend to be terrible because of (a) stupid formats
(e.g. make-file's tab, ANT's XML, etc), and (b) deep flaws in the design
(e.g. GPR's project variables, ANT's XML, etc).
