### Example: Custom Builder
Custom builders are implemented as classes which extend from `Rscons::Builder`.
The builder must have a `run` method which is called to invoke the builder.
The `run` method should return the name of the target built on success, and
`false` on failure.
```ruby
class GenerateFoo < Rscons::Builder
def run(target, sources, cache, env, vars)

### Example: Custom Builder Using Builder#standard_build()
The `standard_build` method from the `Rscons::Builder` base class can be used
when the builder needs to execute a system command to produce the target file.
The `standard_build` method will return the correct value so its return value
can be used as the return value from the `run` method.
```ruby
class CmdBuilder < Rscons::Builder
def run(target, sources, cache, env, vars)
