Yes, that declarative style makes more sense to me than a forwards build statement of steps.

I developed my own tool for building C/C++ projects which follows this style. It automatically handles things like Qt moc and scans the source files for headers, so in your example even the hdrs line can be omitted.

The trouble with scanning for headers automatically is that it allows you to accidently include one that is from an unrelated part of the project.
