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). Linus
