Same idea, but different implementation. Mr Bones is a bit simpler
than Rabal. The main difference is (1) in how much of a skeleton is
created (Mr Bones is a smaller skeleton) and (2) how the rake tasks
are managed. Mr Bones does everything by setting project parameters in
the top-level Rakefile. Rabal generates tasks specific to a particular
project.
