You may consider this mail:

I see following variants for future developpement:
- Keep ruby and improve it to address some of its deficiencies
- Rewrite system in python. This way merging ruby and python dependencies.
- Using automake if it's deficiencies are addressable
- Using just GNU make as I proposed and implemented once.
