Oi! I resemble that remark!  But then I use makefiles to do this,
primarily as there is a thing in Sun^H^H^HOracle Grid Engine called
qmake that will then run your 'pipe' over a monster cluster with no
extra work... Still this might be perhaps a little beyond what you
want to do...

If you are into python then be sure to also check out scons:

There was also a perl module as some stage called PMP (Poor Mans
Pipeline) that may or may not be maintained anymore to do this sort of
thing.
