You should have checked Haiku's build system since a lot of the same
rules (or similar) are used there.

In addition a LONG time ago I created a Jamfile-engine which also
contained some of these rules and worked on the same principle as the
BeOS makefile-engine.

Finally Pe has a Jam build system that probably also has these rules ;)

I intend to try to combine all these into an update Jamfile-engine
sometime between now and 2020 (I kid because I've been meaning to
update it for some time.)

Also I believe DarkWyrm's Paladin IDE can compile these rdefs.
