actually, i'm using a heavily modified fork of jam[1]. i don't want to 
advertise it, though, 'cause it's very "ketmar-specific", and i have no 
plans to make it usable for anyone who has some different views on build 
process. ;-)

you can look at it here[2], but beware! it's not very well documented, 
it's incompatible with any other jam fork out here, and it doesn't 
contain ALL changes. ;-)

i was looking for good build system too, and jam was the one that 
*almost* fits my needs at the time. then i started to fix some things 
there, adding some things, and so on. i was never trying to write yet 
another "universal build system for anyone", it's just a tool for me and 
my friends (yes, it actually has other users except me! ;-).

i dropped windows support some time ago (just don't need that, 'cause i'm 
doing cross-compiles from GNU/Linux anyway) and added 'k8jam config' 
supporting scripts, which does some checks that 'configure' does. it may 
work on non GNU/Linux OSes, but i never check that ('cause i don't need 
that ;-).
