That's misleading characterization. Bakefile is the same as Automake: it
takes simple(r) build description as input and produces build rules for
lower-level tools (gmake, vcproj etc.). This is the same thing Automake
does: it takes high-level Makefile.am descriptions and produces
low-level make files. Conceptually, the only difference is that Bakefile
can produce output in different formats, not just one (well, and that it
tries to be more flexible).

Let's just say that nobody actually *did* it. There may be a reason for
that.
