CPMake sounds cool to me too. It's always bothered me how difficult
it is to manage dependencies in ant, i.e., it's task based instead
of depedency based (as Brian points out), or to create custom logic.
Way to take the bull by the horns.

Also: there's no reason CPMake couldn't have simple adapters for invoking
any of the already-defined Ant tasks. This would probably make adoption
by the current army of existing ant users easier.

Cheers,
