Premake is a build script generator. Write a small Lua
program describing your project, and then use Premake to
generate input files for any of these toolsets:
* GNU make
* MS Visual Studio 6
* MS Visual Studio 7
* ...more on the way!
-- TODO --
* ${PATCHDIR}/patch-ab is only for *BSD
* This is a "configure" replacement, could be nice to add a new
directive as GNU_CONFIGURE for "premake" like: USE_PREMAKE=YES
