So finally got around to makeing that Make-like compiler I wanted, and I just released it. It works pretty well, and it would be as easy to use as Make would if I could make an installer that registers it with the system so you don't have to type the full path every time you want to call it, but for now, that will have to be done manually after it's built. I'm still trying to get together a makefile that works, but for the life of me, I just can't figure these things out, so I'm hoping someone else will be able to do it.

Also, sorry if this is the wrong section to post this in. I wasn't sure where would be appropriate.
