Single Makefile static page generator

In plain words

Hagel is a static page generator contained in a single Makefile, created as a humorous project. It converts source files into static web pages using a minimal, unconventional approach. The tool is intended for developers who appreciate minimalist solutions and programming jokes, rather than serious production use.
