Our build system supports many flavors of Linux, Mac OSX, cross-compiled
Windows (from Linux with Mingw).
And we are now working towards totally supporting native Windows with
Mingw so that patches are no longer necessary. (I'm not on that task but
i think we are almost there)

Given the great complexity we have to handle, we are very happy with
scons: it is python-powered and nicely modular (check clam scons tools).
So we are not going back to a autoconf+automake build system.

Cheers,
Pau
