Hi, This is very interesting. I have used emake with Electric Accelerator and it's a pretty amazing system but I was just wondering why you need to generate XML since emake can read gnu makefiles pretty accurately already?
I obviously don't understand your posting properly so please don't think I mean any offence. One thought that I've had in the past was about how one could generate a graph of make database and allow people to look at all the dependencies and rules. One step from there would be a visual editor for a make database so that one could, in effect, visually edit makefiles. This is a kind of step on the way in that it puts the dependencies into a format that a gui could parse fairly easily.
