   Looks interesting, but I don't think it's quite what I was talking about   
   (based on about 5 minutes browsing the website).   
      
   It seems to emphasize C and C++ *libraries* rather than applications.   
   And I don't see that it can be used to build an existing autotools-based   
   package (like, say, cdecl) on Windows.
