Chris; Since many of Ant's tasks are intended to execute file system manipulation, and since the exec task and execute any binary operation with flexible invocation and parameter options, it would probably quite simple to build C++ using Ant. However, since Ant has really been optimized for Java, I wonder if there are not better options available for C++.
