+Bakefile is cross-platform, cross-compiler native makefiles generator.
+It takes compiler-independent description of build tasks as input and
+generates native makefile (autoconf's Makefile.in, Visual C++ project,
+bcc makefile etc.).
+
+Bakefile's task is to generate native makefiles, so that people can keep
+using their favorite tools. There are other cross-platform make solutions,
+but they either aren't native and require the user to use unfamiliar tools
+(Boost.Build) or they are too limited (qmake).
