Nimbus is a great tool for development but it doesn't get on well with traditional package managers (like what Linux distros use). That's why I created a compatible meta-build system that generates build.ninja and other build files. This allowed me to package all Nitter stack for Gentoo (see eclass and ebuild).

NimBS is colliding with Nim bullshit though.
How was the Babel tower built? Because Nim stems from Babel and Nimrod so might be appropriate.
And they had brick for stone and bitumen for mortar.

Maybe "Mortar"? sounds like a good name for a build system that serves as the glue between packages.
