Well, after a small experimentation with SCons ( http://www.scons.org/ ) which 
I didn't really like (but is still better than GNU Autohell), I've finally 
settled on CMake - http://www.cmake.org/ - which is awesome in almost every 
way (its built-in language is not very powerful, but it doesn't matter much, 
and it's still certainly better than Autotools' m4+sh). I've converted 
Freecell Solver ( http://fc-solve.berlios.de/ ) to it and started converting 
some other projects, and I'm starting new C based projects in it too.

How is your build-system ("adon-banai"?) different from CMake? Can it handle 
Windows builds too?
