I thought of that during DConf. It's "run this tool that includes 
your description and runs the compiler for you" vs "as a library 
now I have to build the build generator myself". It didn't seem 
to make much sense to me since it'd just be more work.

I could always split the code into libreggae and have the reggae 
tool depend on it, but at this point I'm not convinced.
