I believe it is completely file-based but it uses MD5 instead of timestamps which might be ideal to tell if database input fields have changed.
In any case, python is clearly superior to the gnu makefile language and the internals of SCons are also python.

I haven't looked too much into it, but from what I've heard, SCons may be malleable enough to do what you want.

I was wondering if anyone on this list has info that could point me in a direction of research for a build system like gnu make which uses database records to gather dependency data, instead of the traditional Makefile approach, or in addition to using Makefiles.
I am working on a system which defines dependencies between data inside the database and external files, in a database.
Of course, I could write tools to generate Makefiles from the database dependency record information but it would be convenient if there were already a system which uses databases natively.
