RE: Request for comments: CONS specification

[Dimitry Kloper]

After reading this thread I decided to publish the early version of my
extensions to cons. 
May be this will serve as a starting point for your ideas.
It is based on cons 2.3 with little bug fixes and tweaks, and extends
cons with a set of different 
utilities.

This build system will be used for my DGD library. It has two major
features:
1. Modules for automatic locating of external tools. Each module
searches
for appropriate tool and initializes the build environment. 
Modules available for msvc70, gcc, stlport, boost, etc...
2. Simple configure-like pre-build framework testing.

Note also that most stuff was developed and tested on windows with and
without cygwin.
