For building software faster, replace make and use makefile in XML format - Multi-OS Freeware. Replaces make by the simplest parser and its makefile format by a portable XML document. Some predefined actions are sufficient to give tasks to the interpreter. It is a small engine that parses recursively an XML file and turn it into a list of command to process.

A lot of tasks are automated, for example, the parser needs only for the name of the main source file to build a whole project. The program is extensible: you can add your own commands to the parser. The archive includes the source and a binary executable, a reference manual, an XML checker.
