I will also say that Bintray and Artifactory may be better
artefact/dependency stores that trying to build something

from scratch.
Don't forget tup!!! [1]

I didn't forget it myself, but thanks for bringing it up. I'm
considering having a tup backend actually.
Tup is cool but unfortunately is still "too manual", for lack of
a better term. I'd much rather write "add_executable" and not
worry about the details than write the commands explicitly
myself. But it's certainly interesting as an alternative backend
to, say, Ninja.
