Does anybody here use (or have used) an alternative to GNU make when
building projects? I'm wondering if anybody has experience with mk,
cmake, makemake, pmake, cons, scons, waf, etc. Feedback welcome.

In particular, I stumbled across Cbuild recently, and although
imperfect (what isn't?), it's extremely easy to build (only one .C
file!), very portable, and pretty easy to use. Looks like a good
candidate for people who hate typical makefiles.
