It's just as tedious as Ant or Maven's XML frenzy. The biggest problem is the ability or lack of ability to AutoConf which is really useful, obviously, for cross-platform and more importantly cross-compiler support. The Chromium team only target three platforms, it's trivial to hard code platform differences. Consider something basic like flags to enable C99 support, everywhere is completely different. CMake always wins from the end-developer viewpoint, it's very difficult for other systems, including AutoMake to compete. -- Steve-o
