Yes, it does.

I am far from a make expert. I have to look everything up. :-/
BeIDE was never intended for, and probably will not work with,
recursively building a project the size of OBOS. Automated
builds are your friends, as are automated unit tests. That is
the key reason not to have BeIDE *ONLY* directories.

There are tons of other ways to contribute. Let Aaron know
what other things you can do, if you want to and have some
spare time.
