Alas, it's broke:

- Downloading big tarballs of code eats a lot of time and bandwidth, and
managing patch sets quickly gets cumbersome and painful, whereas using a
networked revision control system solves this; and
- Autotools has some significant downsides that can waste plenty of time
and cause lots of pain, especially with Qt's meta-object compiler but
far from only then. CMake is far from perfect, but IMO overall it sucks
significantly less - and it's improving measurably.
