+Makepp is a drop-in replacement for GNU make which has a number of
+features that allow for more reliable builds and simpler build files.
+It supports almost all of the syntax that GNU make supports, and can
+be used with makefiles produced by utilities such as automake. It is
+called makepp (or make++) because
+    (1) it was designed for building C++ programs;
+    (2) its relationship to make is analogous to C++'s relationship
+        to C.
+
+For backward compatibility, it will work with input files designed
+for make, but there are much better ways to do things.
