Kurt Bond<p>I'm trying to switch to <a class="reference external" href="http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/software/cook/">cook</a> to build this
website. I have been using GNU make, but unfortunately there are some
files that need rebuilt (normally) only when new source files are
added, not when they're modified, and I haven't been able to figure
out how to do that in GNU make, and this unfortunately causes
<em>everything</em> to be rebuilt. Cook, on the other hand, can use file
fingerprints to check if the contents of the file have actually
changed, so I ought to be able to do what I want in cook. I not quite
sure I've completely succeeded yet, however.</p>

<dd><p>Eventually I abandoned Docbook for building
my site enirely, switching over to <a class="reference external" href="http://sphinx-doc.org/">Sphinx</a>
It builds faster, doesn't need arcane make/cook hackery, and has a
modern but still simpler appearance.</p>
