About six months ago I ported the build system to a single Makefile, less than 200 lines. The system became immensely more flexible and portable, but it became hard to keep up with the build system changes, and it's nearly impossible to compile V8 without python (I was linking against a shared library so compiling V8 wasn't necessary).
I even rewrote tools/js2c.py in bash (157 lines - not foolproof, but good enough for all the files in lib/). While the Makefile is awesome, this I did just to be crazy. The entire thing is a complete hack. I posted the files I wrote up at https://gist.github.com/Acubed/9363269 Please let me know what you think. Austin Wright.
