This may or may not be a useful starting point:

The main purpose was to configure and build on Windows
without requiring CYGWIN, but it should be extensible
to other platforms as well.  (I haven't worked on it
for a while, but IIRC there's support for IRIX and
Linux in there as well.)

Drawbacks: requires Yet Another Damn Configuration File.
Benefits: can coexist with autoconf.
