Details

(Keywords: meta, Whiteboard: [buildfaster:?]) 

Currently our Makefiles are a mix of data (things like CPPSRCS) and rules (like libs::). We'd like to move to a model where they're purely data-driven, and all the rules are in a central location (like rules.mk). This will make it easier for us to move to a different build system, or experiment with things like global dependencies.
gps has a great script that can list all of these:
