hi,
i think from time to time there is a suggestion to get rid of these autotools.
here is a compelling article that makes me want to look at cmake:

greetings, martin.
We don't use Automake or Libtool which reduces the amount of horror we are subject to, but replacing autoconf has been discussed more than once.
The article is very sparse on details though, and the documentation for cmake does not make it clear how it makes a better autoconf replacement. Any details there?

I took a quick look at the documentation, and it looks like it's a limited autoconf with more magic and with no way to write or override the default commands. It also seems to require being installed on the build platform. I wouldn't touch it with a pole.
