I wanted the same - just generate makefiles/projects. I use tmake (1.11
with some tweaks of me) from Trolltech (predecessor of qmake written in
Perl). It generates makefiles/projects from templates and creates them
for a platform from a couple of lines in a file.pro. You must run the
build afterwards manually. Doxygen uses tmake, for example and Qt uses
qmake, which has the same principle and configuration.

The discussion gets a little off-topic... ;-)
