Potato Make
===========

Version 1.0 (see potato/make.scm for the canonical version string).

Potato Make is a build tool written in Guile Scheme.  It is a library
that aims to simplify the task of maintaining, updating, and
regenerating programs.  It is inspired by the `make` utility in
IEEE Std 1003.1-2017 (POSIX).  With this library, you can write
build scripts in Guile Scheme that use target rules, suffix rules,
and makevars to describe how files are built.
