Installing
----------
1 - Open a command prompt in this documents directory.
2 - Type 'python setup.py install'.
Optionally run the chosen installer executable or script for your operating system, if it exists.
Usage
-----
config.cake
===========
When Cake starts it will search for a 'config.cake' file starting from the directory of the 'build.cake' script it is trying to execute. This file should generally be located in your projects root directory.
The quickest way to create a config.cake file is to copy src/cake/config.py. The example config file supports automatic detection of MSVC, MinGW and Gcc compilers, and two development modes, 'debug' and 'release'.
Running Cake
============
To run cake you simply type cake at the command line:
  'cake'
It will automatically look for a file called 'build.cake' in the current directory and execute it.
You can optionally supply the script filename you want to run as an argument, eg:
  'cake C:\projects\mylibrary\buildmylibrary.cake'.
You can also specify which variants to run by supplying variant keywords, eg:
  'cake platform=windows compiler=msvc'
This will run all variants that build for the windows platform using the msvc compiler.
You can debug the build by using the '--debug' option with any of the available debug keywords, eg:
  'cake --debug=run'
Will output the command lines that Cake runs.
  'cake --debug=reason'
Will output the reason cake is rebuilding your files (ie. what has changed).
Known Issues
------------
- There is no support for building a module (DLL) with import library under CodeWarrior.
- There is no support for finding a CodeWarrior compiler automatically, eg. mwcw.findCodeWarriorCompiler().
