Well, given that quite a few examples in the manual refer to freebsd, I'd say 
any influence is from the freebsd ports system. Just compare the aap file for 
vim and the Makefile in the freebsd vim port ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/
cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/vim/Makefile?rev=1.240&content-type=text/
x-cvsweb-markup)

PS: yeah, I've tried converting a local project to aap and I, too, am 
impressed. Thanks for the link Gour.
