True.  In addition to autotools, there also is cmake "support" (only
meant to be used for Windows) in our tree, which us non-Windows
folks pretty much treat like how Makefile-only folks treat
autotools.

But even if they started as and still are after-thought, with enough
interest by other participant, there is nothing forbidding a
contributor to organize an effort to improve them.  The only
constraint from our side is not to butcher the main build system too
badly to make Makefile-only build less pleasant to work with and
harder to maintain.

Thanks.
