How about considering switch to cmake

[Massimo Fidanza <massimo_fidanza(at)alice(dot)it>]

Hi all, in the past I try to use auto hell and I found it very hard to 
hack, now I'm developing a plugin for kate (KDE advanced editor) and I 
discover the simplicity of cmake. CMake as auto hell is cross platform 
and has a very simple and clean syntax, and the script are not a mix of 
m4 + posix shell + something else but only cmake script. The project 
that swith to cmake are very happy with it. I can help with the portig 
of pgadmin. Let me know if you are interested.
