Ruby Make

Rake is a Ruby make-like utility using standard Ruby syntax for the build specification file. It has the following features: - Rakefiles (rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?) - Users can specify tasks with prerequisites. - Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks. - Rake is lightweight. It can be distributed with other projects as a single file. Projects that depend upon rake do not require that rake be installed on target systems.
