Hi,

Yes, there are some reasons IMO. If you want to add another libraries, or 
combined in in a Unix enviroment, autotools I think that works better. If you 
want to add a library that has a m4 macro, you only have use it to configure 
the linker. If you prefer to mantain som king of GNU system. the autotools 
are the "tools" not qmake. Another question is if autotools are easy or not, 
or a bit crasy tool, but this is another question ....

No, it's not easy, but it's posible.
