Yeah, but they can depend on Python or Perl. These are much better
languages for writing c/b/i tools than POSIX make and POSIX shell, which
are the least common denominator among Unix systems.
I don't see how you could create fundamentally better tools without
giving up on make and sh. And once you do that, you're not solving the
same problem that autoconf/automake are.
