Ah, but the difference is that premake is a makefile-generator (like
CMake, although CMake goes further and builds MSVC project files etc).
 Something like Lake is more like SCons, and directly runs the
commands and works out the dependencies.

Another contender in this space is PrimeMover, although this doesn't
have the MSVC support that Lake has.
