That looks like an elegant way to me :-)

Of course I had to try out the hierarchical build as well. Again I got
stuck though :-(

 main.aap:

  :child foo/main.aap
  :child bar/main.aap

 foo/main.aap:

  :dll foo : foo.c

 bar/main.aap:

  :program { add_LIBS =3D $(DLLPRE)foo$(DLLSUF) }
      : main.c

What I am stuck on that main.c needs foo/foo.h to compile. So, I'd like
to add '-I../foo' when gcc compiles main.c. But I am at a loss!
add_INCLUDE, INCLUDE, add_CPPFLAGS, CPPFLAGS... neither has any effect.
How do I do it?

I have to say that the documentation seems to miss some really essential
parts here, doesn't it? A-A-P is a build tool, right? Why not have some
examples of what people do with build tools?

 - Linking to libraries, both in and outside of the build.
 - Hierarchical builds, with dependencies between targets in different
   directories (make is considered harmful because of its poor support
   for this, I hope AAP is better)
