[Request] Add build2
build2 is an open source (MIT), cross-platform build toolchain that aims to approximate Rust Cargo's convenience for developing and packaging C/C++ projects while providing more depth and flexibility, especially in the build system.

@zzfnohell could you create a PR for the same??
build2 might not meet the criteria for including apps in the main bucket: a fairly standard install (e.g. uses a version-specific download URL, no elaborate pre/post install scripts)
There is no (official) binaries(see the link below). files in(https://build2.org/download.xhtml )are build2 toolchains.
build2 FAQ : Why no (official) binaries? Several reasons:
The build2 toolchain has to be compiled with the same compiler as what's available on your machine since it may need to build and dynamically load additional components later. After the initial installation, the toolchain is normally upgraded from the package repository which requires compiling from source. If we cannot reliably and reasonably easily build from source on all the major platforms, then we probably shouldn't be making build tools. As a result, while the initial installation is a bit more involved, upgrades are not much more inconvenient than using the system package manager while being more reliable and timely.
Note also that the build2 binary packages are starting to appear in the official package repositories of some Linux distributions and there are third-party, unofficial binaries available for some platforms. See Other Installation Methods for details.
