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.
