+# CBS — The C Build System
+
+CBS is a single-header library for writing build scripts in C.  The
+philosophy behind this project is that the only tool you should ever need
+to build your C projects is a C compiler.  Not Make, not Cmake, not
+autoconf — just a C compiler.
+
+Using C for your build system also has numerous advantages.  C is
+portable to almost any platform, C is a turing-complete language that
+makes performing very specific build steps easy, and anyone working on
+your C project already knows C.
+
+CBS does not aim to be the most powerful and ultimate high-level API.  It
+simply aims to be a set of potentially useful functions and macros to
+make writing a build script in C a bit easier.  If there is functionality
+you are missing, then add it.  You’re a programmer aren’t you?
+
+CBS is very much inspired by Tsoding’s ‘Nob’.
