I see some things like windows/non-windows specific flags and a lot of
path handling and infrastructure stuff (which the build tool would do
itself). Anything in particular that you think is not easily doable with
the data driven approach?

BTW, I think build files like these are the perfect example for what I
mean with complexity and scaring away people. I'm sure it all makes
sense, but my vision of a build system is that it goes out of the
developers way instead of forcing him to maintain a whole sister project
alongside the actual code.
