There is no proper documentation for this yet, but it's high up on my<br>
TODO list.<br>
<br>
The things in double curly braces are ad hoc recipes/rules. Currently,<br>
they can be written in Buildscript or C++, most commonly the former:<br>

Buildscript is a portable shell-like language that originated in<br>
Testscript. In a sense, these two languages shared a common "script"<br>
core. Testscript is well documented, and most of the core language<br>
documentation applies to Buildscript:<br>
