I just finished reading a paper about "build", a superset of make developed
at AT&T.  I'm hooked--it does everything we've been looking for.  We have
multiple people working on the same code and build will keep us from destroying
each other.  There's only one problem--where do you get it?  Does AT&T sell
it?  How much does it cost?

If you're interested in reading the paper, it's as follows:

	Build--A Software Construction Tool
	V.B. Erickson and J.F. Pellegrin
	AT&T Bell Labs Technical Journal
	Vol. 63, No 6, July-Aug. 1984
