This might be interesting to Blender too : "CMake" http://www.cmake.org/ .

A nice read about CMake : "Why the KDE project switched to CMake"
http://lwn.net/Articles/188693/ (which also has an interesting blurp on
KDE's CVS to Subversion switch).

In brief : KDE used autotools, evaluated SCons and finally choose CMake.
CMake supports basically every UNIX, MS Windows (MSVC, Borland, cygwin,
mingw) and Mac OS X. CMake can generate Makefiles ... and XCode (Mac OS
X IDE) and several versions of MS Visual Studio (Windows IDE, >=7).
