[9fans] make out?

i guess ant is the solution.  lord knows posix could not decide on a 
single syntax. because it would mean picking one syntax.  which was 
against the rules.  unlike all the places where they did that in the C 
library.  fecking eeegits.

Having had to (grudgingly) deal with ant, I would say that it is
definitely not the solution. Ant uses XML for its syntax. I think that
says it all.

But is the ant not tattooed on the camel's nose?

And seeing the mess, wanting to be able to compile and cross-compile
on whatever; or wanting to not need tens of gigabytes of free space
to compile a thing to finally obtain tens of megabytes of programs
(solution: program the framework so that intermediary objects are
removed once the target is obtained); and definitively _not_ wanting
autoconf and automake, I have designed R.I.S.K. for KerGIS, used
now for kerTeX too (and others not published):  it has taken me
even not one day of work (it for sure shows).

Not to say that R.I.S.K. is the solution. But there are a lot of threads
that take an amount of time reading sufficient to have the job done...
