Way back then, Ingo also wrote a better makefile engine which we used for
our projects befor switching to jam. It also handles the dependencies, but
does not create another folder like the ZETA one does. When the time comes
to add something like that I can dig it out. Personally I wouldn't mind
Haiku offering a jamfile.engine and a makefile.engine side by side.
