Anyway, the "Configure" Boost.Build project caught my eye. Which could be the requirements for such a tool?
I also added a few requirements to that one item. I'll expand the other one a bit later.
Before you start, you should have a look at BuildSystem [1]. It is used as the configuration engine for PETSc [2], which runs on more platforms than you can shake a stick at. It is implemented in Python. The docs are a bit sketchy, and it still needs work for mere mortals to be able to use. In any case, I have implemented it for my software, which you can get with subversion at http://geodynamics.org/svn/cig/long/3D/Gale/trunk There is a configure.py script, but most of the meat is in the python/ subdirectory.
