I had somehow already the impression that this ruby based build system isn't really well maintained ;) I looked now even a bit over the automake[0] documentation. For me personally it just looks easier to get into that, because it is just made for Makefile's instead of some perl/python/ruby script which generates them. If automake isn't enough maybe we could use a combination of it with a small perl script or so? Though I don't know any perl/python/ruby at all. I'm willing to really look into this automake stuff if there are no strong objections against it, in the hope that in the end the build system is clean, easily understandable and can be well maintained :) Though this will probable take a little while so I still think Colin's way would be a good short term solution and for long term we remake the whole build process with that idea integrated from the beginning.
