It takes 2GB of RAM for jam to build boost, compilers and linkers apart. I don't
think it scales any well.

In my projects I use cmake, but I don't know how portable it is beyond the usual
OSes around. I've used it succesfully for cross-compilation too, without
troubles.

I clearly understand the advantages of a good autotools *result*: a shell script
that works in many places. That's outstanding compared to the rest of tools
proposed, so although I will not do the work on making fossil autotools-ready, I
understand the people wanting it.

Lluís.
