Probably would agree with this, but meh, whatever, I'm agile.

I would say a side step. All build systems are a pain in the posterior - 
buildroot, bitbake, tmake, qmake, cmake, whatever Android uses, whatever 
iOS uses... you name it, they all have their own issues. You don't want 
to know what was done to qmake to get it to build qtopia. :)
