How do you feel about either a Python or a Java dependency? I've been looking into the problem of targeting multiple C/C++ compilers on multiple platforms. 2 tools look like they may be "industrial strength" solutions to the problem:

scons, a Python script based build system
http://www.scons.org/

Ant with the ant-contrib cc Task
http://ant.apache.org/
http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/
http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/cc.html (list of supported compilers)
