perforce also provides their 'jam' build tool, it claims to make even 
the most complicated build processes easier.

i haven't used it yet, but we do use perforce in-house and if jam is as 
slick as perforce itself is, it might be worth looking into.

it's free to use far as i'm aware of (jam that is)
