This is somewhat unrelated to your question, but I am somewhat amazed that the Jamfile-engine worked for you for this. I guess I did include driver building in it, but I wrote it so long ago I had forgotten.
Good job, ty. This really saved me from some hassle. The same goes for the article on the homepage, of course.
The main reason I am commenting is some people have had problems with the Jamfile-engine and I have intended for some time to update it based on a lot of the things we have learned about Jam since then, but haven't done that yet obviously. But hey if it works for you, great!
I think it would be a good thing to update it. A good build engine can save programmers a lot of time, as it did for me. And I think that Haiku is quite ready to (re)attract developers, and things like a good Jamfile-engine can help to make Haiku more attractive as a coding platform.
