  Description     : flexible ruby based make

  Similar  to  make, the rant commandline tool reads a file
  called Rantfile, which contains task definitions.  Unlike
  make, however, an Rantfile is just a valid script written
  in the Ruby programming language. Since Ruby  comes  with
  many useful libraries and is portable across many different
  operating systems, it is easy to write portable Rantfiles.

  rant --help provides a list of options

  rant -T provides a list of tasks in an existing Rantfile

  [i use this, and have made a preliminary package, available
