#! /usr/bin/env python

# hm.py: 'Help Me', is a simple wrapper for all build tools.
# 
# This script was created for the Synergy+ project.
# http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus
#
# The idea behind this is to simplify the build system,
# however, it's not a dependancy of building Synergy+.
# In other words, you don't need to use this script!
#
# If you don't wish to run this script, simply run:
#   cmake .
#   make
# This will create an in-source UNIX Makefile.
