[Rant] Further Rant development

[Chandler Carruth]

Hello,

I have looked at Rant some, and had used it in the past. I have
recently started developing a tool designed very much along the same
lines as Rant. My goals were to get a core more suitable for certain
types of builds (parallel building, and some other interesting
features that needed a subtly different approach). It is ultimately a
blend between Rant and SCons, of course written in Ruby! Hopefully I
will have this tool ready to be considered as a direction for growth
of Rant by the end of the summer.

I would love to see the feature set of Rant slowly brought across to
this core, although I realize some may not be interested in this. If
there is interest, please contact me, and I would be happy to discuss
the possibilities. I won't hijack this list, I just wanted to mention
that I have a project I am working on that could be a potential
direction for moving forward with Rant if people are interested. If
people would rather stay with the Rant core, and improve it that would
also be excellent! =]
