Nope, but hbmk could probably be extended to read these
files and try to use as much as possible from them.
I'm personally largely uninterested in spending time to
create code to process these file formats (which I don't
know). Many/most features are already supported by hbmk,
and the format is simple enough, that it takes just a few
minutes for a human to do it manually.

If someone wants to contribute here, probably the best
would be to write small converter tools from Xbase++
and xMate config files to .hbm. These tools can then
be integrated into hbmk, quite easily.

Since I've never used above products, it's difficult to tell
what they offer (beyond the file format). What still could
be done in hbmk, is dependency tracking and incremental
build features. I'm currently not interested in these, nor
do I have time to implement it, first let's see how this
new tool works, let's make it on par with hbmk.sh, let's
fill the gaps, then reconsider.

Overall however, hbmk does want to stay a simple/light
tool, not a Visual IDE replacement nor a do-it-all / solve-it-all
utility. Its main purpose is to hide platform differences
for users and to allow to make .prg -> executable a one
step process on all platforms.

So, if you read my ChangeLog entries, you'd find, that
the relevant parts/features are already supported of
your quoted config files. Resource file handling is still
on the TODO list, but since Harbour core doesn't have
any resources this isn't topmost priority, I'll add it later
as time allows.

Brgds,
Viktor
