Autofoo are pretty good but it's unix make dependant, can't create
build files for other build system as Visual, or so on. How don't lost
his hairs trying to do autofood his project ?
CMake seems to be as good for git. And is also expansible.
Git Makefile is quiet big but not complex, autofood imho will make it
less stable and usable.
