I've heard of SCons, and cons looks similar except for Perl instead of Python (which would be good for me, because I know more Perl than Python). I've never tried either, however. zacs7 mentioned cmake. I did look at it, and it looks pretty complete, with rather similar syntax to autotools.
What else is out there?
