The principal concept of any build tool, is building stuff. In my opinion, make has the perfect idea for it: just tell it what you want, then tell you want done about it.Then exploit that what you want done, can usually be guessed or written once, hehe.

At it's heart, tmk is still a `make`, and perhaps barrows the most from classic make and from Qts project file sytax. Personally, I feel tmk makes things more simple, I'll not repeat here what I'm loading into the Wiki on Source Forge however.
