We need to rewrite the existing build script for compiling and packaging Torsion for release on Windows.

Ideally this script is MSBuild based and doesn't require installation of Python or any other such garbage.

Probably go the CMake route that way it's the same across all three platforms (Windows, Linux, and OS X).

As much as a loathe CMake that might not be a bad idea thinking beyond just Windows.

Is there anything else out there that is more modern and lightweight? Is Premake still actively developed (https://premake.github.io/)?

Hah... I got confused after you mentioned CMake which is both a project generator and a build scripting system. Premake is just a project generator really... so it isn't a solution for this.

We are really just looking for build scripting and would really like to leave project generation out of it. We should be able to manage the 3 projects we need all on our own.

@tomspilman there's a fork of premake that is actively maintained called GENie. https://github.com/bkaradzic/GENie
