i share yours and antonios view that a line of code which does not
exist cannot be wrong, and it cannot be executed - so there is a
tendency to have less bugs and quicker programs.

lacos friendship with autotools like automake, autoconf, libtool, m4,
... made me look a little into build tools. this is what i found:

* http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/wiki/BuildTool
  comparison cmake - scons - swtoolkit
* http://code.google.com/p/waf/wiki/WafAndOtherBuildSystems
  comparison waf - cmake - ant - maven - scons - fbuild
* http://lwn.net/Articles/188693/
  why/how kde switched to cmake
* http://scons.org/
* http://code.google.com/p/swtoolkit/
* http://cmake.org/
* http://code.google.com/p/waf
* http://buildr.apache.org/
* http://maven.apache.org/

so, if you would ask me now to suggest something it would be something
like cmake, waf. but i will also ask what it means to drop in gnu ld
into our build system.

rupert.
