What is "buildamation"

BuildAMation (Bam) is a desktop multi-platform free and open-source software system for writing a single description of how to build software for desktop computers. It defines an extensible architecture based on the C#, exposing a declarative syntax to describe the dependencies between build-able modules. The core assembly exposes a generic dependency system, while packages of C# scripts extend support into multi-threaded command line builds, Microsoft Visual Studio project and solution generation, Apple Xcode project and workspace generation, and Makefile generation.
