Ok, this is going to be controversial (or maybe not). I'd like to drop autotools and just use cmake as build system.
Reasons: * I don't use autotools so whenever something new happens i regularly forget to try it works there (as proven last time with the nss includes) * cmake is more portable (i.e. doesn't uses shell scripts) * cmake gets releases more often * cmake code is easier to read (for me) * AFAICS Not even gnome (which was the "last" big autotools user) plans to use autotools anymore Only issues: * We don't have gtk-doc support * We don't have make dist-xz support (which i use for releases) But i'm sure both should be fairly easy to add, just never cared to do it since the only times i use them are for releases.
