That's wrong that there is just one Makefile. Well it's true that there
is just one file named like that, but the main Makefiles are the
conf/*.mk files generated from conf/*.rmk by genmk.rb.

There wasn't yet much talk about improving our build system.
Bean just made it less complex in his lib branch (IIRC he called it
something like that)
But except of this nobody had much interest/time to improve or even
directly replace our build system by something better.
Okuji already objected against automake because according to him it
doestn't satisfy the needs for our build system.
