Bottom line: no buildsystem -- not yet a fair question to 
expect a yes or no on.

In addition to dag's own tools, we have the approaches of PLD, 
Mezzanine, caos-1, the Tao scripts, the Centos scripts, 
http://www.autobuild.org/, http://www.scons.org/, 
http://www.luntsys.com/luntbuild/index.html, anthill.  heck, 
even RH's own Beehive already exist.

Why a closed design cathedral approach?
