Yep, I've implemented a build system with that property recently. I promised to post a writeup here, but haven't gotten a round tuit. Maybe it would be useful if I posted part of a project that uses that build system. The basic idea is it's a cross-platform project that needs to generate code fo

Parallel builds and SUBDIRS
