I wouldn't call GNU make "simple", nor would I say it has a "user 
friendly syntax". But that would be trolling...

x264's makefile works, is maintained, and is easy to use (provided 
somebody else writes it), so I don't see the point in adding a new build 
system. I could understand project files for IDEs, but just a build 
system alongside make seems redundant.
