AFAIK this is more of a religious question... I'm using the autotools for 
quite some time now and I like the fact that I'm able to build my projects on 
mutliple platforms with it. I know that there are other, new tools but I'm 
still not convinced that changing from a running system to one of the newer 
ones would be helpfull at this point.

The fact is that once you are familiar with the autotool - and it might take 
some time until you do, I grant you that - it actually is quite usefull. 
After that it is very easy to add new tests...

So while I'm in no way advocating the autotools I know how to work with them, 
and as long as there is no really convincing replacement I for myself will 
stick to them :-/


Regards
Martin
