Have you tried other meta make utilities such as CMake before creating 
your tool or are you leaving this up to me because you haven't had the 
chance to try CMake yet?

I am trying to decide on a build tool for the Lit Window Library and am 
considering bjam, cmake, bakefile and would just like to get an opinion 
about your tool before delving deeper into it. BTW, I need linux support 
as well as VC6++ and .NET project creation, meaning the tool should 
create .NET project/solution files rather than acting as a build tool.

As far as I understand bjam, it does not (yet?) create .NET projects but 
compiles the sources directly. Am I wrong?

When do you expect to have linux support?
