interesting! how much of this is already implemented with implicit rules? is there any documentation about how to adapt this to one's own projects? how does a user trigger the verbosity on and off for example, is it `-DV=1 -Dsilent=0` to get all the nice debugging?

Some things seem hardcoded and some things are not, e.g. $LANG specifies the file extension (not language) of the input files, but the assumption is that each of these files winds up as a .o, so there's some tweaking required for your projects.
