This might be a bit niche, but after using it privately for a couple of
years, i've made a first release of Walk, a Python module that provides
a mechanism for running commands, where commands are not run if Walk
can infer that they would not change any generated files.

* An LD_PRELOAD library or syscall tracing is used to detect what files
  a command reads and/or writes.

* Tested and used on Linux and OpenBSD.

* Also provided is an example Python script walkbuild/walkfg.py which
  uses Walk to work as a build system for the Flightgear open-source
  flight simulator.

For more information, please see:

* Docs: https://walk.readthedocs.io

* Development: https://github.com/cgdae/walk

* Install: pip install walkbuild

Thanks,

- Jules
