Same answer as before :-) Look at the HEAD branch. It can handle
arbitrarily nested directory hierarchies, arbitrarily many programs and
libraries with arbitrarily many files. And all that based on standard
automake/libtool, so it's no problem for several people to work on the
same project and use different development tools. There are still some
features in this context which are incomplete or have a user interface
that is not optimal, but the framework is there.

Nevertheless, a flexible and powerful project management can not
hide all the complexity that it offers. For simple projects, it may still
be desirable to have an alternative implementation. In the HEAD
branch, this is possible as the project management as a plugin which can
be chosen by the user. So if someone wants to iplement to frontend to
qmake (fka tmake) or ant (for java), this is possible.
