I am a GNU Make hacker, so I personally use raw GNU Makefile semantics for VirtualGL and other projects I do, but I am a bit of a nut in that regard. :) In terms of automated Makefile generators, CMake is a much more elegant solution than automake IMHO.
However, I'm not proposing for TigerVNC to do either of the above. I just want to use a version of automake/autoconf that is more compatible with Enterprise Linux platforms. My users are mostly standardized on Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5 with a few on SuSE 9 & 10 and Ubuntu 7 & 8. These are mostly large corporations and institutions that will refuse to change platforms until they absolutely cannot get support for it anymore. Thus, I need to build on the "lowest common denominator" platform to ensure that I can distribute one binary that works for everyone.
