NO! At least the Makefile is debuggable and understandable.
If we need a better build system, I'd much rather use something
higher-level that can generate VC++ project files etc.
In other words, I'd much rather see us using CMake or something like that,
which actually adds real value-add.
(And no, I've never used cmake, so maybe it has horrors waiting for us
too, but autoconf is just worthless).
