This package contains Rake, a simple ruby build program with
capabilities similar to make.

Rake has the following features:

* Rakefiles (rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in
 standard Ruby syntax.  No XML files to edit.  No quirky Makefile
 syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?)

* Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.

* Rake supports rule patterns to sythesize implicit tasks.

* Rake is lightweight.  It can be distributed with other projects as a
 single file.  Projects that depend upon rake do not require that
 rake be installed on target systems.
