All~ I was thinking about reworking the Parrot build system to use scons (http://www.scons.org/). The up side to this is that it would allow more precise dependecies and could probably be used to eliminate the configure step. The down side is that it introduces another dependency. However, scons is implemented in Python, so it might be easier to use in a bootstrapping system. As we would only need to bootstrap some amount of Python support and then we would be off.
Anyway, my final thought on all of this was that I should ask the powers that be if such a patch would be accepted, or if it would be just wasted effort.
