Including the gem:

"the language in which make was written (C) leaves plenty of room for 
programming mistakes"

Which seems to be confusing things a little ... as that might be seen as a 
justification for rewriting "make" itself in Python :o) but forcing people to 
write build scripts almost entirely in python seems like less of a step forward 
than simply improving make to cope with more than one file being built in a 
single step (yacc, etc).
