Hello, CMake ( http://www.cmake.org ) has something called ExternalProject_Add which provides a similar integration with 3rdparty build systems, something like Trace + mkProject :
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Modules/ExternalProject.cmake;hb=HEAD So far CMake is the best cross-platform build-system I have seen. We are using it at work for Windows-Linux cross-platform development and works very well. It creates Visual C++ solutions and projects on Windows from project (you could say "metaproject") files called CMakeLists.txt (see http://www.elpauer.org/stuff/learning_cmake.pdf - page 10, top slide).
