Well, makefiles aren't that good, I read "Recursive make considered harmful"
about a year ago, and Ithamar suggested jam as an alternative.
I also do not really see a benefit of using XML.

make as a standard doesn't mean that it's the only solution.
I conside make to be slow, I have a personal project using recursive
makefiles, that takes quite a while to compile, even if you only changed
one file. And dependencies aren't easy with make, too

Although I did put BeIDE projects into the tree, I also would like
to suggest to replace all of them by jam files, once we have
a working setup for an automated build!
