-= Why rake?
-
-Ok, let me state from the beginning that I never intended to write this
-code.  I'm not convinced it is useful, and I'm not convinced anyone
-would even be interested in it.  All I can say is that Why's onion truck
-must by been passing through the Ohio valley.
-
-What am I talking about? ... A Ruby version of Make.
-
-See, I can sense you cringing already, and I agree.  The world certainly
-doesn't need yet another reworking of the "make" program.  I mean, we
-already have "ant".  Isn't that enough?
-
-It started yesterday.  I was helping a coworker fix a problem in one of
-the Makefiles we use in our project.  Not a particularly tough problem,
-but during the course of the conversation I began lamenting some of the
-shortcomings of make.  In particular, in one of my makefiles I wanted to
-determine the name of a file dynamically and had to resort to some
-simple scripting (in Ruby) to make it work.  "Wouldn't it be nice if you
-could just use Ruby inside a Makefile" I said.
-
-My coworker (a recent convert to Ruby) agreed, but wondered what it
-would look like.  So I sketched the following on the whiteboard...
-
-    "What if you could specify the make tasks in Ruby, like this ..."
-
-      task "build" do
-        java_compile(...args, etc ...)
-      end
-
-    "The task function would register "build" as a target to be made,
-    and the block would be the action executed whenever the build
-    system determined that it was time to do the build target."
-
-We agreed that would be cool, but writing make from scratch would be WAY
-too much work.  And that was the end of that!
-
-... Except I couldn't get the thought out of my head.  What exactly
-would be needed to make the about syntax work as a make file?  Hmmm, you
-would need to register the tasks, you need some way of specifying
-dependencies between tasks, and some way of kicking off the process. 
-Hey!  What if we did ... and fifteen minutes later I had a working
-prototype of Ruby make, complete with dependencies and actions.
-
-I showed the code to my coworker and we had a good laugh.  It was just
-about a page worth of code that reproduced an amazing amount of the
-functionality of make.  We were both truely stunned with the power of
-Ruby.
-
-But it didn't do everything make did.  In particular, it didn't have
-timestamp based file dependencies (where a file is rebuilt if any of its
-prerequisite files have a later timestamp).  Obviously THAT would be a
-pain to add and so Ruby Make would remain an interesting experiment.
-
-... Except as I walked back to my desk, I started thinking about what
-file based dependecies would really need.  Rats!  I was hooked again,
-and by adding a new class and two new methods, file/timestamp
-dependencies were implemented.
-
-Ok, now I was really hooked.  Last night (during CSI!) I massaged the
-code and cleaned it up a bit.  The result is a bare-bones replacement
-for make in exactly 100 lines of code.
-
-For the curious, you can see it at ...
-* doc/proto_rake.rdoc
-
-Oh, about the name.  When I wrote the example Ruby Make task on my
-whiteboard, my coworker exclaimed "Oh! I have the perfect name: Rake ...
-Get it?  Ruby-Make. Rake!"  He said he envisioned the tasks as leaves
-and Rake would clean them up  ... or something like that.  Anyways, the
-name stuck.
-
-Some quick examples ...
-
-A simple task to delete backup files ...
-
-   task :clean do
-     Dir['*~'].each {|fn| rm fn rescue nil}
-   end
-
-Note that task names are symbols (they are slightly easier to type
-than quoted strings ... but you may use quoted string if you would
-rather). Rake makes the methods of the FileUtils module directly
-available, so we take advantage of the <tt>rm</tt> command.  Also note
-the use of "rescue nil" to trap and ignore errors in the <tt>rm</tt>
-command.
-
-To run it, just type "rake clean".  Rake will automatically find a
-Rakefile in the current directory (or above!) and will invoke the
-targets named on the command line.  If there are no targets explicitly
-named, rake will invoke the task "default".
-
-Here's another task with dependencies ...
-
-   task :clobber => [:clean] do
-     rm_r "tempdir"
-   end
-
-Task :clobber depends upon task :clean, so :clean will be run before
-:clobber is executed. 
-
-Files are specified by using the "file" command.  It is similar to the
-task command, except that the task name represents a file, and the task
-will be run only if the file doesn't exist, or if its modification time
-is earlier than any of its prerequisites.
-
-Here is a file based dependency that will compile "hello.cc" to
-"hello.o".
-
-   file "hello.cc"
-   file "hello.o" => ["hello.cc"] do |t|
-     srcfile = t.name.sub(/\.o$/, ".cc")
-     sh %{g++ #{srcfile} -c -o #{t.name}}
-   end
-
-I normally specify file tasks with string (rather than symbols).  Some
-file names can't be represented by symbols.  Plus it makes the
-distinction between them more clear to the casual reader.  
-
-Currently writing a task for each and every file in the project would be
-tedious at best.  I envision a set of libraries to make this job
-easier.  For instance, perhaps something like this ...
-
-   require 'rake/ctools'
-   Dir['*.c'].each do |fn|
-     c_source_file(fn)
-   end
-
-where "c_source_file" will create all the tasks need to compile all the
-C source files in a directory.  Any number of useful libraries could be
-created for rake.
-
-That's it.  There's no documentation (other than whats in this
-message).  Does this sound interesting to anyone?  If so, I'll continue
-to clean it up and write it up and publish it on RAA.  Otherwise, I'll
-leave it as an interesting excerise and a tribute to the power of Ruby.
-
-Why /might/ rake be interesting to Ruby programmers.  I don't know,
-perhaps ...
-
-* No weird make syntax (only weird Ruby syntax :-)
-* No need to edit or read XML (a la ant)
-* Platform independent build scripts.
-* Will run anywhere Ruby exists, so no need to have "make" installed.
-  If you stay away from the "sys" command and use things like
-  'ftools', you can have a perfectly platform independent
-  build script.  Also rake is only 100 lines of code, so it can
-  easily be packaged along with the rest of your code.
-
-So ... Sorry for the long rambling message.  Like I said, I never
-intended to write this code at all.

-= Rake 0.5.0 Released
-
-Although it has only been two weeks since the last release, we have
-enough updates to the Rake program to make it time for another
-release.
-
-== Changes
-
-Here are the changes for version 0.5.3 ...
-
-* FileLists have been extensively changed so that they mimic the
-  behavior of real arrays even more closely.  In particular,
-  operations on FileLists that return a new collection (e.g. collect,
-  reject) will now return a FileList rather than an array.  In
-  addition, several places where FileLists were not properly expanded
-  before use have been fixed.
-
-* A method (+ext+) to simplify the handling of file extensions was
-  added to String and to Array.
-
-* The 'testrb' script in test/unit tends to silently swallow syntax
-  errors in test suites.  Because of that, the default test loader is
-  now a rake-provided script.  You can still use 'testrb' by setting
-  the loader flag in the test task to :testrb.  (See the API documents
-  for TestTask for all the loader flag values).
-
-* FileUtil methods (e.g. cp, mv, install) are now declared to be
-  private.  This will cut down on the interference with user defined
-  methods of the same name.
-
-* Fixed the verbose flag in the TestTask so that the test code is
-  controlled by the flag.  Also shortened up some failure messages.
-  (Thanks to Tobias Luetke for the suggestion).
-
-* Rules will now properly detect a task that can generate a source
-  file.  Previously rules would only consider source files that were
-  already present.
-
-* Added an +import+ command that allows Rake to dynamically import
-  dependendencies into a running Rake session.  The +import+ command
-  can run tasks to update the dependency file before loading them.
-  Dependency files can be in rake or make format, allowing rake to
-  work with tools designed to generate dependencies for make.

-= Rake 0.6.0 Released
-
-Its time for some long requested enhancements and lots of bug fixes
-... And a whole new web page.
-
-== New Web Page
-
-The primary documentation for rake has moved from the RubyForge based
-wiki to its own Hieraki based web site.  Constant spam on the wiki
-made it a difficult to keep clean.  The new site will be easier to
-update and organize.
-
-Check out the new documentation at: http://docs.rubyrake.org
-
-We will be adding new documentation to the site as time goes on.
-
-In addition to the new docs page, make sure you check out Martin
-Fowlers article on rake at http://martinfowler.com/articles/rake.html
-
-== Changes
-
-=== New Features
-
-* Multiple prerequisites on Rake rules now allowed.  However, keep the
-  following in mind:
-
-  1. All the prerequisites of a rule must be available before a rule
-     is triggered, where "enabled" means (a) an existing file, (b) a
-     defined rule, or (c) another rule which also must be
-     trigger-able.
-  2. Rules are checked in order of definition, so it is important to
-     order your rules properly.  If a file can be created by two
-     different rules, put the more specific rule first (otherwise the
-     more general rule will trigger first and the specific one will
-     never be triggered).
-  3. The <tt>source</tt> method now returns the name of the first
-     prerequisite listed in the rule.  <tt>sources</tt> returns the
-     names of all the rule prerequisites, ordered as they are defined
-     in the rule.  If the task has other prerequisites not defined in
-     the rule (but defined in an explicit task definition), then they
-     will _not_ be included in the sources list.
-
-* FileLists may now use the egrep command.  This popular enhancement
-  is now a core part of the FileList object.  If you want to get a
-  list of all your to-dos, fixmes and TBD comments, add the following
-  to your Rakefile.
-
-    desc "Look for TODO and FIXME tags in the code"
-    task :todo do
-      FileList['**/*.rb'].egrep /#.*(FIXME|TODO|TBD)/
-    end
-
-* The <tt>investigation</tt> method was added to task object to dump
-  out some important values.  This makes it a bit easier to debug Rake
-  tasks.
-
-  For example, if you are having problems with a particular task, just
-  print it out:
-
-    task :huh do
-      puts Rake::Task['huh'].investigation
-    end
-
-* The Rake::TestTask class now supports a "ruby_opts" option to pass
-  arbitrary ruby options to a test subprocess.
-
-=== Some Incompatibilities
-
-* When using the <tt>ruby</tt> command to start a Ruby subprocess, the
-  Ruby interpreter that is currently running rake is used by default.
-  This makes it easier to use rake in an environment with multiple
-  ruby installation.  (Previously, the first ruby command found in the
-  PATH was used).
-
-  If you wish to chose a different Ruby interpreter, you can
-  explicitly choose the interpreter via the <tt>sh</tt> command.
-
-* The major rake classes (Task, FileTask, FileCreationTask, RakeApp)
-  have been moved out of the toplevel scope and are now accessible as
-  Rake::Task, Rake::FileTask, Rake::FileCreationTask and
-  Rake::Application.  If your Rakefile
-  directly references any one of these tasks, you may:
-
-  1. Update your Rakefile to use the new classnames
-  2. Use the --classic-namespace option on the rake command to get the
-     old behavior,
-  3. Add <code>require 'rake/classic_namespace'</code> to the
-     Rakefile to get the old behavior.
-
-  <tt>rake</tt> will print a rather annoying warning whenever a
-  deprecated class name is referenced without enabling classic
-  namespace.
-
-=== Bug Fixes
-
-* Several unit tests and functional tests were fixed to run better
-  under windows.
-
-* Directory tasks are now a specialized version of a File task.  A
-  directory task will only be triggered if it doesn't exist.  It will
-  not be triggered if it is out of date w.r.t. any of its
-  prerequisites.
-
-* Fixed a bug in the Rake::GemPackageTask class so that the gem now
-  properly contains the platform name.
-
-* Fixed a bug where a prerequisite on a <tt>file</tt> task would cause
-  an exception if the prerequisite did not exist.
