Looks like we'll be able to discuss this in London in November, I got
myself tickets to operatingsystems.io on a whim -- hopefully half of the
talks won't^H^H^H^H^H*will* be over my head :-)

In my experience all build systems tend to eventually devolve into an
unmaintainable mess internally, and said mess then requires $INTOXICANT to
tackle.

What's nice about buildrump.sh is that the external user interface is
so straightforward.  As a counter-example, I briefly contemplated building
Firefox OS for my Nexus 7 tablet. Then I went and actually looked at the
~20 pages of instructions on the mozilla.org Wiki and just gave up in order
to preserve my sanity.
