The code for everything sans the b_depends and r_depends is finished by now. Those two are a bit tricky because you have to take into account some special variables like the USE_GNOME stuff. To avoid having to suck and parse those files each time I'm thinking about a pre-parsed bsd.*.mk cache, which shouldn't be hard to implement. I'm writing the code in C and the license will be, of course, BSD. Hopefully I'll have a preview demo by the end of the week.
