[darcs-users] Jam-based build system

[Peter Simons]

In case anybody is interested: I have added a Jam-based
build system to darcs, just to experiment with Jam ... no
particular purpose. I think Jam is superior to make;
especially functional programmers will like Jam much better,
IMHO.

So if you want to take a look, get the patch here:

    darcs pull http://darcs.cryp.to/repos/darcs/

It will add Jamrules (which you can ignore) and Jamfile
(which you should take a look at). To build the software,
just say "./configure && jam" and see what happens. More
details are to be found in the patch's comment or in
"Jamrules".

I'll polish this code a bit and then show it to the library
infrastructure guys. Maybe that is something their future
efforts can be based on ...
