What are your thoughts

I kind of hate them all, TBH. I dream of writing my own sh-based build
system that's near-zero non-POSIX dependencies, is lightweight, and does
everything necessary--except at the end of the day we all know what I'd
end-up building: autotools!

*sigh*

The only thing that makes me feel better is the world's gradual
convergence on something POSIX-y and C-standard-y and that maybe,
someday, that will afford us a really simple and portable build system.
