Dep Software Build Automation Tool

dep is a software build automation tool, similar in function to make but easier to use and more powerful.

Dep has a very simple language, little more than a scripting language. It figures out the source and target of a build command by analysing the command line. It figures out the files included by any source file by simply reading all the source files.

Dep has special syntax for varied situations such as existence dependencies and change dependencies, it handles subprojects very well, and it has some good ways to speed up the build process.
