[ˈajn in]: A Beautiful Ninja generator

[ˈnɪ̈̃nʷd͡ʒʷ ə] focuses on speed, ['ajn in] focuses on beauty.

Code build.ajnin beautifully:

rule cc |= (/usr/bin/cc)
rule cc &cflags+=' -O3'

(all) << {

    list c := src/$$.c
    foreach c {
        (src/$c.c) --cc-- (build/$c.o) --ld-- (build/a.out)
    }

}

Run: ajnin -o build.ninja build.ajnin to bridge beauty and speed:

build all: phony build/a.out
build build/a.out: ld build/a.o build/b.o
build build/a.o: cc src/a.c | /usr/bin/cc
    cflags =  -O3
build build/b.o: cc src/b.c | /usr/bin/cc
    cflags =  -O3

And then run ninja speedy.
