That's ok with me.
Initially the project used autoconf/automake build process (it's in CVS
history - if you dig in there you may find it..). I had permanent problems
with it (ok - I'm relatively new to Linux), so I eventually switched to
Ant/CPPTasks. IMO autoconf proved an overkill.
Don't underestimate CPPTasks. They have built-in .c/.h dependencies graph
builder and support a whole range of C++ compilers.
Yes they are not core (or even optional) Ant task, but you can checkout &
build them automatically as part of the build process.

Sure, I guess the port does not qualify even as alpha yet. There are at
least two very annoyng crashes that I'm aware of. :-)
