A decision has been made: we will be using Python files executing in a

Supporting this decision are Ted (build system owner) and Benjamin

This question might be impossible to answer right now, but about how long do
you think it will take to convert the entire build system to the new format?
I have no clue. We can likely get 90% of it done within a few months if
we tried. But, the tail of one-offs is very long. That 90% should get us
a lot though, including faster builds and Visual Studio project
generation. Moving 100% away from Makefile.in's will probably take 6+
months. Shorter if we make it an organizational priority. Build system
hack week, anyone?
