There are alternatives to auto-tools, a series of makefiles (i.e. status

There is cmake, jam, etc. all as potential solutions to "the problem".

I just read on the KiCad wiki that someone is maintaining a SCons build system (not yet merged in SVN):
http://kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Build_System/SCons

The current state of rumors indicates that SCons is a more modern and elegant solution than autotools, but I don't have any experience to back up those claims. At least it's Python instead of the strange M4 stuff ;)
