you might try buildtool with xcode support and work with Gregory to 
bring it up to your needs.

If I can, I don't even write makefiles I let ProjectCenter handle them, 
as I use XCode on Mac. THis way I maintain projects that compile on both 
platforms.
ProjectCenter is however full of limits, so I end too up messing with 
the makefiles, but I don't see it that difficult. most often I do not 
need autoconf, in that case gnustep-make gives you enough sugar to 
sweeten make's pill.

I see it as an advantage to depend "only" on make when buildin, cmake is 
growing to a small monstrum.
Actually, if we supported BSD make and not just GNU make it would be super.

that's just my experience, it really depends on how you organize your 
builds.
