.SH "NAME"
Premake \- A build script generator.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.\" Syntax goes here. 
.B premake \-\-target <str>
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B premake
allows you to manage your project configuration in one place and still support those pesky IDE\-addicted Windows coders and/or cranky Linux command\-line junkies. It allows you to generate project files for tools that you do not own. It saves the time that would otherwise be spent manually keeping several different toolsets in sync. And it provides an easy upgrade path as new versions of your favorite tools are released.
