<p>
A <code>BUILD</code> file defines one or more <em>build targets</em>.
A target represents a set of source files, dependencies or other 'nouns' that
build commands can act on. The <em>type</em> of a target determines what actions
apply to it. For example, a <code>jvm_binary</code> target can be compiled and run.
