It's not related to `make` in any way except general function -- the file format is different, the actions are different, the intent is different. Since it's bound more tightly to `ruby` than `make`, why not stick with the crystal theme and call it something like `lattice` ? Whenever I see `rake` or `rakefile`, I think of: 1. A zen monk in a garden, quietly raking the sand 2. How Scooby-Doo would pronounce `make` 3. ... by this time I've usually passed out. --sjd;There's stuff above here
