I think that one of the things that in the long run makes things easier 
is consistency. That i means i like to use the same build system as Gtk 
when making Gtk apps, because if there are some problems with Autotools 
and Gtk, then the main Gtk project will probably solve them, so i dont 
need to think about them. Or if i do, google will probaly find me a 
ready solution.

At least i hope so ...
