This was especially in the early days of Rant. It got a bunch
of new features since then. Amongst them:
* Useful for bigger projects: You can have more than one
  buildfile for your project, e.g. one per directory
  (no need for things like "recursive make").
* As already noted, Rant can determine dependencies between C/C++
  source files.
* Automatic cleanup of generated files.

All (I hope!) features are documented, read http://make.ruby-co.de.
