Rebecca,

If you know of anything I am interested as I don't like building and supporting something unnecessary.

This tooling isn't trying to reinvent anything but is really focused on providing reusable/sharable functionality that can then be pieced together by a platform to produce the required output.  Today in edk2 you see shell script files (bash/bat) and a lot of redefinition of variables and assumptions.  This is made much worse in complex closed src code bases, complicated pre and post build requirements, and even then managing the path and locations to tools and scripts is a fragile mess.  In practice this environment has made our build process much more reliable, lower cost to maintain, and immune to necessary churn at all levels of the code tree.  It also has allowed our products to get significant code reuse so we lower the cost of ongoing maintenance and new feature introduction.

Looking forward to gathering more input from the community as we all don't need to build similar things.

Thanks
Sean
