tav, I just looked at your build system. Where all those undefined
variables comes from? As I understood, your build system works like
zc.buildout? I didn't find much similarity with Makefile there.

I like Fabric, but also I miss Makefile functionality, where you can
just run ``make`` and it will check everything and will do just what is
needed or missing.

So I started implementing some thing similar in Fabfile, where you can
just run ``fab make`` and it will do only what is needed.

When I finish to implement it, fabfile.py should look something like this:
