-running the BEAM more than necessary. This saves many seconds
-compared to traditional Makefiles, even on small projects.</p><p>Erlang.mk will not try to be too smart. It provides a simple
-solution that works for most people, and gives additional
-options for projects that run into edge cases, often in the
-form of extra variables or rules to be defined.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_erlang_mk_gives_you_the_full_power_of_unix"></a>10.2. Erlang.mk gives you the full power of Unix</h2></div></div></div><p>Erlang.mk is a Makefile.</p><p>You could use Erlang.mk directly without configuring anything
-and it would just work. But you can also extend it greatly
-either through configuration or hooks, and you can of course
-add your own rules to the Makefile.</p><p>In all cases: for configuration, hooks or custom rules, you
-have all the power of Unix at your disposal, and can call
-any utility <span class="emphasis"><em>or even any language interpreter</em></span> you want,
-every time you need to. Erlang.mk also allows you to write
-scripts in this small language called Erlang directly inside
-your Makefile if you ever need to…</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_erlang_mk_is_a_text_file"></a>10.3. Erlang.mk is a text file</h2></div></div></div><p>Erlang.mk is a Makefile.</p><p>Which means Erlang.mk is a simple text file. You can edit a
-text file. Nothing stops you. If you run into any bug, or
-behavior that does not suit you, you can just open the
-<span class="emphasis"><em>erlang.mk</em></span> file in your favorite editor, fix and/or comment
-a few lines, save, and try again. It’s as simple as it gets.</p><p>Currently using a binary build tool?

Well, here’s one thing
-that Erlang.mk and Makefiles can do for you that Erlang
-build tool can’t easily: choose what version of Erlang is
-to be used for compiling the project.</p><p>This really is a one-liner in Erlang.mk (a few more lines
-if you also let it download about build Erlang directly)
-and allows for even greater things, like testing your
-project across all supported Erlang versions in one small

-they come with a Makefile. The dependency can be written
-in C, C++ or even Javascript… Who cares, really? If you
-need Erlang.mk to fetch it, then Erlang.mk will fetch it
-and compile it as needed.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_erlang_mk_integrates_nicely_in_make_and_automake_projects"></a>10.6. Erlang.mk integrates nicely in Make and Automake projects</h2></div></div></div><p>If you are planning to put your project in the middle of
