Redo: A recursive, general-purpose build system

This is a long-running project, apenwarr's redo is currently written in Python and will be implemented in C to reduce dependencies. It aims at being "finished" software at some point (similar to, say, TeX).

Redo allows to define dependencies dynamically during the build, which is explained a bit here: http://pozorvlak.dreamwidth.org/179266.html
