Hello guys ... 

About build tools, I've tested and used SCons for a while, however scons is 
very slow to determine dependency between files. However, the second that 
Alex proposed is pretty much. I use it for every project I realized. It works 
on every unix/mac and zindoz ...

So if we have to change Build tools, we should select CMake (just remember 
that CMake is now used by the Kde community).

I want to see that :p

Kai you seem to be always in action !
