Well, with that info, I can safely say you're over my head. Within the domains I've worked it's unheard of for builds to need such elaborate configuration.

As well, I recall thinking the Boomerang language would be interesting for code generation, albeit it's getting into esoteric academia land: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~harmony/ http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~harmony/
