While I feel incredibly guilty for speaking against any project that includes a link to XKCD, I really do not think this is the best project for us. - is it portable? (quote: "there is no configure script, so you just have to hope my C is portable") - can we distribute it? scons and waf can be run as a standalone python script; tup evidently requires compiling. That might not be an issue for you and me, but what about a casual doc contributor? - can we extend it? Our docs need a *huge* amount of extra python scripts and custom rules.
