I currently use scons, which I find quite handy.  I haven't yet
figured out a great way to install python libraries from within scons
(including uninstall, etc), but it is beats make for C/C++ builds in
terms of easy of use and portability.

When I'm forced kicking and screaming into building Java apps, I use
ant, which helps hide some of the foolishness associated with Java.

HTH,
tim
