Perhaps you should take a look at Vesta (www.vestasys.org)  It uses a 
functional language to describe how to build a system, uses hashes to 
determine file equality, and caches derived files for reuse.  IT  seems 
to be the result of some very bright people sitting down at a blank 
piece of paper and designing a build management system.
