I came here to have a rant about autotools being mentioned and found a lot of people doing the same. Thats a sign something needs to be taken out in the yard and shot if there ever was one.

No, seriously, please just use autotools. It's way better for users and packagers of your library. If you're not going to do that, then use an alternative that provides the same command-line interface as autotools (so that things like "./configure --prefix=FOO && make -j4 && make install DESTDIR=BAR" still work). As far as I know, there's no such thing as of yet.
