Since there are many people objecting to autotools, what about using
Jam instead ? It has the advantage of being designed to be
cross-platform, and should have all the features we would need for *git.
When compared to autotools, it rather takes the place of automake, and
can also be use together with autoconf (or any non-make-specific
replacement you can name) if there is a need for it.
