If you like that sort of thing you might like my "GNU Make Standard Library" which provides all sorts of additional functionality all written in native GNU Make: http://gmsl.sourceforge.net/.

Also there's my interactive GNU Make Debugger (all written in GNU Make syntax): http://gmd.sourceforge.net/

Or even my book: "GNU Make Unleashed": http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/gnu-make-unleashed/293...

Sometimes, the WTFPL is the appropriate license. Fun project.

I just did it because I was working on a horrifically complicated gyp/make build system for work and I came up with enough infrastructure that I realized I could do something like this. (for work I was computing relative and inverse paths, among other things).

@jgrahamc I'll check out your projects. and @msgilligan, thanks for registering just so you could upvote me =)
