+ftjam is make like program construction tool
+
+This is "FT-Jam", a simple derivative of the Jam build tool, based on
+and 100% compatible with Jam 2.5.
+
+Jam recursively builds target files from source files, using
+dependency information and updating actions expressed in the Jambase
+file, which is written in jam's own interpreted language. The default
+Jambase is compiled into jam and provides a boilerplate for common
+use, relying on a user-provide file "Jamfile" to enumerate actual
+targets and sources.
