Here is an example build description for DMD:

I'd say that's a lot easier to read than this crusty thing:

Yes, the syntax looks nice.
Cool. Difference in size is also large. Do they do the same things? --

Not quite. It doesn't download a previous version of dmd for
bootstrapping and it doesn't handle configuration (e.g., x86 vs x64).
About all it does is the bare minimum work necessary to create the dmd
executable. I basically ran `make all -n` and converted the output
because it's easier to read than the Makefile itself.
OK. I guess at least some of that stuff should be arguably scripted.
Building from scratch takes about 7 seconds on my machine (using 8 cores
and building in /tmp). Make takes about 5 seconds. Guess I need to do
some optimizing. :-)
I'd say the gating factor is -j. If an build system doesn't implement
the equivalent of make -j, that's a showstopper.
