Use Gulp instead of make

Let's use Gulp instead of Make for build automation. I'll push a pull request soon.

What's the advantage? I don't mind switching, I'm just unfamiliar with the features of either build system. On Sep 27, 2014 2:30 PM, "Larry Battle" notifications@github.com wrote:

Here are a few advantages of using Gulp over Make.

Write build automation scripts in javascript. Make uses a bash like syntax.
Easier to learn. If you know node.js then picking up gulp shouldn't be a problem.
More cross platform friendly.
Specify dev build dependencies inside package.json for easier installation.
Work with objects instead of executing terminal statements.
Output flows through pipe()s. Manipulate streams like objects instead of files.
Has large plugin selection. http://gulpjs.com/plugins/
Run multiple build tasks concurrently.
