Mike, Good question. In the area where I work, we are leading the push towards Java. I know that our Internet group (where I previously worked) is using C and I think that they are using make (iirc). I think that they may even be using make for the little bit of Java that they have over there. I haven't gotten them converted to ant yet! :-)
Feel free to contact me offline and we can discuss it further and I could put you in touch with one of our build managers.
