I'd suggest having a look at cmake. It seems to have worked well for
Chicken Scheme. The configuration is user-friendly (ncurses menus
rather than having to pass in a lot of --options to ./configure),
generation is much quicker than with autoconf, and the result is the
same - a customized platform-specific Makefile. I suspect the reason
is that it does more of the investigation/decision-making when cmake
is built for the platform, rather than every time for every project
that you want to configure. And most certainly does not look for a
Fortran compiler when configuring a C project. :-)
(Disclaimer... I don't have experience writing config files for cmake.
I tend to write makefiles by hand, for projects I have worked on so
far. I think that is also a perfectly valid alternative.)
