Sorry if my post sounded otherwise. But I meant what you wrote. They are 
different in terms of implementation.

Another point is that it would be unfair to compare with Autotools with 
them. They contain a tiny fraction of Autotools' features.

I mentioned one drawback of Bakefile in couple of posts earlier. I hope 
they would fix it in upcoming releases.

The goal of these projects are different. They want to provide a simpler 
interface to generate makefiles for multiple compilers. It helps for 
average users like me who want to quickly generate makefiles for 
multiple compilers. :)

Thanks & Regards,

Biplab
