So I've used GNU Autotools for many many years (like since 2006 maybe?). But
for new project I decided to go with Meson.

Thus, my projects can get by with just GNU Make.

Heh heh. All of my personal projects have hitherto used GNU Autotools.
A blend of autoconf, autoheader, automake, libtool and libtoolize, and of
course some m4 macros.

For one of them, I also added a qmake build process, which turned out to
be useful for building in Windows and in FreeBSD.

But my personal projects often use bash to unite various C programs
into a coherent whole.  That is beyond the scope of any build
system like autotools or cmake.

You are the King of Brute Force!

Also, I am beginning to consider Tk/Tcl as a graphical alternative
to bash.  A great aid in development is vtcl:

Cripes, the 8.6 version is 8 years old!
