Wouldn't it require Plan9?

It looks nice, but doesn't seem to add a whole lot beyond what make already 
has.  The only thing I noticed that I liked was regular expression pattern 
rules.  However I wasn't able to find any details.  I'd like to able to 
something like this without have to resort to using eval to create huge 
makefiles.
