;;; scimax-build.el --- Build capability for org-mode

;;; Commentary:
;; The idea here is to allow an easy build process for org-files. When you run
;; `scimax-build' it will look in the current org-file for a block named "build"
;; and run it. If that is not found, then it looks for a makefile in the current
;; directory and runs the default target.
;;
;; This is a WIP. [2020-02-12 Wed]
