Hi Nikolai, This does look very cool, I might use it in my project.
However, while it does solve the specific (and simplified) problem at hand, it still doesn't really address the more general problem that I was asking about. Okay, for some git info, I can use a Probe and probably get away with it. But how can I do other pre-build stuff, like running a code generator (flex, bison, etc. come to mind)?
