Description:

Cons is a Perl-based make replacement. It is not compatible with make,
but has a number of powerful capabilities not found in other software
construction systems, including make.

Do you use Makefiles for your project? Have you ever done a "make
clean; make all" just because you didn't know if the files you changed
would be rebuilt correctly? Or perhaps you work on several machines
accessing an NFS server, and if their clocks aren't in sync, make
won't know to rebuild things? Well, welcome to a new and better way to
control the building of your projects.
