 Well, wonder no more - **ctor** is here!
-"'ctor" is an often used short-hand form of the word "constructor" referring to the class function that sets up the internals of an object in object oriented programming - so the intended pronunciation of "ctor" is "constructor".
+"'ctor" is an often used short-hand form of the word "constructor" referring to the class function that sets up the internals of an object in object oriented programming - so the intended pronunciation of "ctor" is //constructor// but sometimes also referred to as //see-tor//.
 Ctor is a C++ based build system, making it possible to configure and build complex projects without writing a single line of non-C++.
 It aims towards the feature-richness found in auto-tools and beyond, but with a compilation speed rivalling that of raw makefiles.
+And the //only// dependency is a functioning C++ compiler!

 In the root of your project you can create your first ''ctor.cc'' build configuration file:
 <code c++>
-#include <libctor.h>
+#include <ctor.h>
 namespace
 {
-BuildConfigurations myConfigs()
+ctor::build_configurations myConfigs(const ctor::settings& settings)
 {
-  return

+      ctor::sources{ "hello.cc", "world.cc" }, // list of source files to compile
-        .sources = { "hello.cc", "world.cc" }, // list of source files to compile
