1. Quagmire tries to replace autoconf and libtools too,
   Antimake is strictly build tool.  It leaves system
   detection to autoconf and shared libs to libtool.

2. Despite that, Quagmire seems to depend autoconf for
   initial setup.  Antimake has defaults for anything
   and can operate standalone.

   This means that Antimake is also usable also for small
   or even throwaway test projects, which Automake or
   Quagmire isn't.

3. Antimake is single file, you can simply add it into your source
   tree and never worry about incompatibility with newer versions.
   As it does not contain any system-specific knowledge, the need
   to upgrade should be small also, if the features used in project
   are working well.
