That may be the case but Makefiles are either incomprehensibly
complicated or platform specific -- it is nigh on impossible to create a
single Makefile that does its job sensibly on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X
and Windows.  The advantage of tools such as Waf, SCons, CMake is that
they manage the platform issues for you.
