In fact I think it'd be good if we would start dropping some of them. Or replacing some of them with more generic/portable systems (e.g. if cmake would actually work on Windows I would prefer it above autoconf right away).
For the purpose of invoking compilers I personally like Jam (implementation by Boost: http://www.boost.org/tools/build/jam_src/index.html ). It can for example invoke GCC, MSVC, Borland C++, darwin, and quite some more compilers, natively with generic command line options. I'm not really sure whether you can check for met dependencies (like automake/autoconf do) with this. The general idea, however, is that we most likely would benefit from having only one build system. As I said cmake seems nice, but isn't as portable as is advertised (either that or I'm doing something very stupid, since it basically tells me _all_ dependencies are not met). -- Giel
