I'm one person with a highly niche port, but for what its worth I'd support a move to autotools. I'm doing a port to AROS, which currently means cross-building WebKit on Linux. I opted to use qmake because it was the easiest one to get set up in a hurry (I have a little GTK+ experience so I could see how to cobble together what I needed from the gtk-port stuff). Getting the cross-compile happening is a bit of a hack though, and qmake docs are rather thin. If qmake is as hard to get hold of as you say (I don't actually know, my distribution had it packaged), then I really don't want to put that on my developers. Besides, eventually we will want to be able to develop WebKit natively on AROS. Its highly non-POSIX, but we already have ports of most of the tools need to do configure stuff. Since QT is not something we'll ever need, a port isn't likely to appear. Also cross-building is something I already know how to do with autotools, which will mean less effort for me getting it set up. 2c.
