Description-en: Flexible, Ruby based make
Similar to make, the rant commandline tool reads a file called Rantfile, which
contains task definitions. Unlike make, however, an Rantfile is just a valid
script written in the Ruby programming language. Since Ruby comes with many
useful libraries and is portable across many different operating systems, it
is easy to write portable Rantfiles.
