I would like this as well. I'm still using dsss, it's too bad it's 
abandoned (it seems like it is anyway). But makefiles, I don't know if 
there's anything I hate more.

The question is: what exactly should the tool do?
Should it just download and install third party libraries?
Should it also contain something similar to rdmd?
