Something to look into perhaps is Trolltech's 'qmake' tool.<br>It fills the role of something like autotools or now defunct imake.<br><br>As far as I understand, you can indeed use it for projects that don't do anything with the Qt libraries.
<br>Now, it may not have the support for multiple targets that it sounds like are needed for speex, and I know it doesn't have as comprehensive of platform-independent support as autoconf (i.e. it doesn't quite do feature-testing, IIRC),
<br>but it will generate project files, though it is unclear if it provides creation of all the different versions of projects we're looking for (VC6, VS2003, VS2005, VS2008). <br><br>It just seems ridiculous that 4 different project files have to be maintained for one operating system, let alone the # of targets each one of those project files needs to be customized for.
