BuildGen - A New Build Tool

I have been working on a new build tool for quite some time as the other ones out there just didn't cut it for me.  It is set up in a "library" fashion meaning that you can add new languages and other build scenarios easily.  The libraries are written in Lua and the man executable is written in (currently messy) C++.  It's still quite new and I have never incremented the version number from 0.1 but I feel it is nearing a beta release.

You can download the repo from Gitorious here:
https://gitorious.org/buildgen

If is also available in the aur, buildgen-git.

and an example of a library is the (largely incomplete) Qt library.  It builds all of my Qt projects but they don't use resources or translations so those don't exists yet.
https://gitorious.org/buildgen-qt

I am posting it here as a rough test drive.  I was hoping to get some feedback about the design as well as ease of use.  I want to know where the documentation is unclear and other rough spots.  Idealy you can write scripts for some of your small programs and tell me how it goes.  Please ask tons of questions I would love to help.

The documentation is on the wiki it may be helpful to read over the tutorial.

Please be blunt, I need to steer this thing in the right direction.  And if you don't like the idea, please say it rather than not posting.
