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).
