I don't think having a standard Makefile is a pro argument, as I don't 
really say that somebody will start to hand modify the generated 
Makefile's. But I think we need a build system that is widely available 
for every supported OS. Good if it's already included in distributions, 
good enough if it's possible to install by anyone without much hassle.
