Trying using Imake and Imakefiles. That's what Imake is for - to create Makefiles.
I really don't see a need for Ant to create Makefiles, although no reason individual groups coouldn't do it. Just don't see a need for it to be officially supported. And, what kind of system are you running on where the time taken to start the JVM is signifigant compare to the total build time??? I have ant based builds that take anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. What is a few extra seconds to start the JVM???
