*: *CMake - winner:* CMake is widely adopted in the open source community as a x-platform replacement for auto-tools style builds. It has it's own Macro-style syntax, but unlike the afore mentioned tools it is a generator similar to Imake and it works with existing tools (make, visual studio). Another powerful tool in the "CMake warchest" is CPack, which allows for various methods of packaging, across multiple OS distributions.
