Sorry, if you expect Make to be a build system, you don't understand
Make :)

Make is only a small part of the picture, is just a dependency tracking
program, and a pretty good one if you ask me (but I agree it could be
better), to work you have to specify the dependencies (manually or
automatically, it's up to you). I don't know Rake but I would be very
surprised if it's really better than Make at doing what Make was
designed for. *Very surprised*.

Saying that Make is a bad build system is the same as saying an HTML
parser is a bad web browser.
