+Build has features such as:

+@item Position-independent makefiles.
+@item Non-recursive multi-makefile include-based structure.
+@item Leaf makefiles are full-fledged GNU makefiles, not just variable definitions.
+@item Complete dependency graph.
+@item Inter-project dependency tracking.
+@item Extensible language/compiler framework.
