not ignored at all, i'm just way too busy for a mere 24 hours a day.

i had a look at it after you first metioned on the list and the idea
looks really sweet. it is my intention to give it a spin as soon as
i can, expecially since at work i'm involved in a project where we hit the 
limits of gnu make quite hard.

i'm not, either!

at least not right now ;)
