Hamster

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

The Hamster story.. :)  Unfortunately it's not at all so personal as 
yours.  I wanted a furry, little (Hamster the project is a one-file) 
and cute name, with a suitable pic to put on a website.  I fancy 
Hamster a lot more than SCons/Lua - the old name.. :).

If you still want a story:  Hamsters collect all kinds of nuts in their 
cheeks, then spit them out somewhere (or eat). Remotely like what a 
build system does, eh=?
