Re: Prime Mover v0.1

I'm bad at marketing - I know.. :)

You can use Hamster to:
	- generate SCons scripts on the fly
	- generate Makefiles on the fly
	- just Do it All (no dependencies)

The mishap is mostly due to versions, I will need to check that the  
latest on LuaForge has the stand-alone features.

I should be using Hamster myself, but I am not.  My conception has  
become, Makefiles with Lua scripts "baked in" can be very, very  
versatile as such.  But had I any larger scale project needing a  
build system (and a dislike to Python?) I'd give Hamster a go.  It is  
'ready', has no known severe bugs, and out for grabs.

This is the end of Open Source projects; they become "ready" and  
still no-one uses them.  That's life. :)
