Recipe File Format

[mtspark]

One idea,
Rather than create a custom line-based format, perhaps it's better to use XML for this recipe file?

or an even more far-out idea might be,

To make it a standard C2 file and use language constructs within?
The full power of the language would then be available for executing various build configurations.

Cheers,
Mark.

Hi,

The format of the recipe file is work in progress. Because the exact requirements are unknown,
we'll just let it grow. Changing it, will currently have no big impact. 2 file formats that are
roughly similar are qmake files and cmake files.
Maybe we can extract the best of them and remove the nasty bits?
