CMake might be a better choice than autoconf for the goal of having a single
build infrastructure for Unix and MSVC builds. An interesting feature of
CMake is that it can generate MSVC project files, which is not possible with
autotools. See also http://www.cmake.org/cmake/project/about.html for more
information about CMake.
As a sidenote, the KDE project switched from autotools to CMake some time
ago. For more information, see also http://lwn.net/Articles/188693/.
