.SH DESCRIPTION
.B yait
(yet another init tool) is a project scaffolding utility that helps you start
new C or C++ projects quickly. It creates a new directory containing a portable
build system, header and source files, and optional libraries to provide a
kick start for development.

The intent of
.B yait
