Autotools

Do the expert programmers at /prog/ use the GNU Autotools?

Also, are the Autotools really the de facto tools to create software packages?

I do, however, agree with the concept of divide and conquer in general. It is absurdly foolish to create build scripts of your own when make is readily available, but individual makefiles ought to be kept small. When you work with a software project consisting of hundreds of components and millions of code lines, how do you accomplish that? One word: The recursive use of make. Thread over.
