It's a pity that rake is not included in the table at the bottom. One huge advantage of rake is the ability to easily debug what is happening. A quick `p [filename, task]` lets you know what is happening. Even, if needed, you can quickly do $ irb >>> require 'rake' >>> p FileList["foo/*"] and actually play around with the libraries. If you know anything about ruby, and especially if you are looking to build anything other than a c/c++ project, it is definitely worth looking at.
