Wouldn't it serve your intents to provide a > method to build Ion without having to manually edit a file (system.mk)? make is standard. autocrap [1] is a vomit-inducing pile of kludges created by people utterly incapable of software *design* (just like most of the FOSScracy). It can not be considered a proper standard, because, being program source code, only one program can read the files and hope to do the right thing. (Cf. the hopeless task of producing a latex to html converter that actually works.) It's all hacks upon hacks, because the information is not in a well-specified structural format, as in my "capable packages" [2] proposal... or even most distros' package descriptions, that do redundant work because autocrap doesn't easily provide adequate specifications.
