The main reasons are:
- autotools is really not easy to maintain
- using ccls (C++ language server) with Pan code is not easy.
Working with ccls requires a .ccls or a compile_commands.json which contains
build information so that ccls can understand the code.
This file is straightforward to generate with cmake, but not with autotools.

Actually, I was not aware of these alternatives :o)

Hopefully, I will be able to drop autoconf.
All the best.
