Qake: GNU Make-based build system with a different approach

I've been recently using Tup [0] with great success in a project. It is interestingly different from other build systems in the sense that it defines dependencies in the opposite direction (from source file to product, not the other way around). It is incredibly fast and simple.

Tup came to my mind too when reading this. It must be doing a similar kind of dependency tracking to only rebuild what is necessary.

I did not know about tup. It looks excellent. Time to try some experiments...
