The other popular configure+make replacement is scons.
I can only give uninformed information (!) here, but in one company I worked with, the main project decided to switch from scons to cmake due to some huge performance problems in scons. This was in 2005-2006, though, and I don't know whether things have changed. If you want to investigate Python-based build systems, there is waf (*), which apparently started out as a fork of scons (precisely due to the aforementioned performance problems). Again, I have never tried it. (*) http://code.google.com/p/waf/ Regards Antoine.
