I'm just trying to stop you guys from investing in a new build system 
that cannot be used for the whole community.

In most cases I also just need a shell script containing some 
compile/link flags. But what I don't like is that I need to duplicate 
the shell script, one version for Posix and one version for Windows. 
That's why I'm advocating for using build scripts written in a full blow 
language that already exists and works cross platform.

I do also manage DWT which requires a bit more complex build system then 
a simple shell script with some compile flags.

Also, I can't for my life understand why the compiler can't have flags 
for handling common linking flags, like adding a library or a search 
path for libraries. That should of course be platform independent. If 
the compiler won't do that I'll add that to my build tool.
