"Distribution" projects are projects that are already packaged and should essentially just be copied directly to `build_directory`. The purpose here would be to simplify the use of pre-build binaries and...
Needy should support building independent needs by different concurrently-running instances of needy to allow for better integration with build systems that support parallel building of targets. A simple design might...

If there's a problem with a build, this will save time by erroring out immediately, and making it really clear where the error occurred. Usage might look something like... ```...
