really? I find that usually automake systems, despite how disgusting they are to deal with from a developer-standpoint, almost always tend to 'just work' from a user-standpoint. I can't really speak very much for C++ systems, as I understand the dominant build system for that is CMake, which personally I have found completely abhorrent from a user-perspective. (I once tried to build a 32bit program on a 64bit system, and CMake completely and totally refused to do so! There were no override flag that actually affected the program, and it didn't look as if there was any standard place to inject flags to the compiler, I still have no idea how one goes about doing it, to be quite honest).
