 Jam - Make(1) Redux
 
-Jam is a program construction tool, like make(1). Jam recursively builds
-target files from source files, using dependency information and updating
-actions expressed in the Jambase file, which is written in jam's own
-interpreted language. The default Jambase is compiled into jam and
-provides a boilerplate for common use, relying on a user-provide file
-"Jamfile" to enumerate actual targets and sources.
