It's not really that hard. At first glance a Makefile resembles
nothing else in Unix, it's not a shell, it's not a programming
language, and I think that's what puts people off of Make.
But ant is much less opaque, to be sure. I think this is important and the
ant developers should be proud of this accomplishment.
