Well, just to add my 2cents. The world is changing and cmake is becoming 
very fast
the standard. Many projects have switched to it. One of the major 
advantage is that
it works under windows out of the box...

I'm saying that all the more that I used to be an autotools convinced 
guy (and not very statisfied
by cmake some time ago), but cmake is progressing rapidly. As said above 
quite a few
opensource projects adopted it and it is taken into account in many 
distro build system.

I can't believe I'm saying that, but it's true...

    All the best,

        Theo.
