Hehe, that's of course not what I wanted to hear. There is some inertia to move to another build system. One of the nice things about autotools is that they are well established. Bert is using them now with some maven plugin to automatically build maven packages to use in the braille modules of pipeline 2. I'm still hoping that there is a decent workflow to use autotools to get windows binaries.
