Description:

A-A-P is an Open Source software construction tool--that is, a build
tool; an improved substitute for the classic Make utility; a better way
to build software.

a-a-p "configuration files" are similar to makefile but they can include
Python.
a-a-p uses MD5 signatures to rebuild only when the contents of a file have
really changed, not just when the timestamp has been touched. a-a-p
supports side-by-side variant builds, and is easily extended with user-
defined Builder and/or Scanner objects. Most of the a-a-p logic is object
oriented, including default build rules for many types of program, they are
all overloadable also.
