Given that you mention me, I feel authorized to give my opinion ;-) I personally never had big problems with auto tools on Windows. Even not fully understanding them, I was always able to tweak them such that to obtain what I needed. So, I feel at home with the autoconf thing and am somewhat scared to change. Nevertheless I will gladly help to tune any new environment which may help simplifying maintainance. In any case, I acknowledge your enthusiam and initiative. The configure.py thing, for example, is a big step forward at least on Windows (not even taking into account the auto-view work). -- Enrico
