Rails uses Rake.

Rake is Ruby Make, but Rant is not Ruby Ant. Rant would have been called
Rake if there weren't already an existing Rake project. But it is called
Rant, and named make on rubyforge because there is already another
project called Rant which is truly a Ruby Ant and hasn't released any
files yet. Quite confusing isn't it? :)
