Research into GNU Make alternatives #71

Makefile is getting cluttered. Maybe something newer? Rake?

Having looked into it, SCons (Python-based) looked interesting, though not much suitable for us since we aim more for automation than standard compilation build. The other interesting (although much less used) build system was tup. It has strong checks on dependant and generated files and the actual build files seem more readable.

However, since the current Makefile was considerably simplified by #78, I don't see that strong pressure to migrate anymore. Thus, for now, I'm closing this as a nice-to-have only.
