Will also need to check regarding the licensing issue... our plan was 
to use CruiseControl but I see in the chart that you mentioned -- very 
useful, btw -- that it doesn't directly support "make", so we have to 
see if we can somehow integrate the C++ build with CruiseControl, or 
opt for a different continuous build tool.
I've participated in large scale multi-project mixed C++/Java builds in 
cruisecontrol before, it'll do the job with a bit of custom scripting.   
It's easy to do make, just write an ant script that calls make. There 
are (were) xslt scripts shipped with cruisecontrol that turn the stdout 
and stderr from make into a nice HTML log with the stderr bits 
highlighted in red. You can also get CppUnit results nicely formatted as 
HTML by hacking the cruisecontrol xslt for JUnit logs.

The other tools may still be worth investigating, I've no experience 
with them.
