Ant is... ugh. If you're doing Java, it's definitely the choice since
it's got so much infrastructure built around it.

But, if you are investigating software builds, look at (one or all) of
the following:

    SCons       <http://www.scons.org>

    Boost Build <http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/> 
		and
		<http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v2/>
