Comment (by anonymous):

 Replacing the Makefile is not a bad idea, but I am not so sure using
 python would be the best option. Given how many problems we see with
 simfactory and different versions of python being installed (or not) one
 various systems, one would have to be very careful and test a lot. The
 logic isn't all that complicated, and the rest of the build system is in
 perl anyway - IHMO it would make most sense to have the global "Makefile"
 in perl as well.
