I have to agree with David. Lets find one way to do it and make it simple, if a build process can be. I have worked a little with Maven, and it seems tobe simple. I am not knocking Forrest. I have not had a chance to look into it. If that is more simple than Maven then I am all for it. Lets not make the build process this awful process. I think everyone would agree with that.
