[erlang-questions] [ANN] erlang.mk build tool

[Benoit Chesneau]

The big problem with erlang.mk is requiring to have gmake and more
importantly wget installed imo.

Which makes it quite annoying to distribute on systems that have none of
them. It would be interrestin to have the support for curl for example.
Also what are the makefile extensions that you really need to require gmake?
