Auto tools is on the way out for modern projects.

In our code base, we build a number of third party projects from source. 
  We do this because we build for several platforms including Windows 
and embedded Linux.  Most of these projects (22/27) use CMake, which is 
becoming (if it hasn't already become) the de facto standard for cross 
platform open source projects.  So for most of what we build, building 
for Windows is no different to building for Linux.  The fly in the 
ointment is openssl which a bitch to build on windows...
