Libbitcoin Build
The libbitcoin-build repository is used by Libbitcoin maintainers to generate Autotols and other build artifacts from declarative sources. The purpose of the library is to maintain build quality and consistency across the Libbitcoin repositories without unnecessarily restricting contributions.

Design Overview
The Libbitcoin build system uses GSL for generation of build artifacts from a declarative XML model of each repository. The system also enumerates source files within each repository in order to generate a master [library].hpp and Makefile.am. Visual Studio projects and solutions are not currently generated. Scripts invoking SWIG are used to generate source code for Java and Python bindings.
Change Control Process
Maintainers generate and push resulting artifacts to each of the other repositories so that contributors have familiar context. Contributors to a given repository can edit the generated artifacts and later maintainers can determine whether to retain changes by incorporating them into the model. This allows less experienced contributors to introduce changes for review without introducing fragility into user-facing build, install and packaging processes.
