And what have mobos to do with the fact that whenever GNU lay their dirty hands on a project they will not rest until they turned something decent and useful into an overly complex, drowned in obscure options and hard to configure mess?
I can't possibly argue with you because I agree with you. Like Bill just said: I feel your pain -- every time I run into a problem with autotools -- or even when I read a HOWTO about using autotools. Just a day or two ago I compiled a package (naturally I can't remember which package) that specifically required a build framework *other than* autotools. I got up out of my chair and shouted "YES!" (I was alone and I couldn't share my joy with anyone, so thanks for giving me this opportunity :)
