Did you take a look at cmake (www.cmake.org)?  The KDE project has recently
switched to cmake.  Cmake's documentation isn't the greatest either, but:

- it has a configuration TUI/GUI (no more questions like "which switch
  enables 64-bit compilation?)
- the reference docs are good
- there is a plenty of examples and tutorials floating around
- a book is sold on amazon

I've recently started to use cmake and, while not quite "comfortable" with
it, at least i'm getting stuff done, something I couldn't say for bjam when
I tried to use it.
