A review of Buildr
http://danielroop.com/blog/2007/08/25/buildr-review/#more-50
Says that Buildr is implementing a DSL for builds, it's not straight
Ruby.  Also, that Buildr is going for the Tower Of Babel approach.
Finally, that Buildr has an active community.
http://groups.google.com/group/Buildr-talk  Unlike Raven, whose
mailing list has crickets chirping.

I can't tell from the review how likeable the Builder DSL is.  There
isn't that much Builder DSL code presented, but what is presented,
seems sane and perfunctory.  I figure if you're blowing off Ruby to do
a DSL for builds then that says something positive about CMake script.
