I doubt anyone would want to go for this but the ReactOS build system has alot of the features you
need and it written in C++ so it should not be too much trouble to extended it and support it on
other platforms. It uses a xml format for the input makefiles which is alot like Samba's format.
It support multiple compilers and has better dependancy tracking than make or gcc. Some of the
other features you need could be added with little trouble.
