No automake is still useful for Ada. gnatmake only build the tool. But
you probably also want to install, setup the build, create tarball for
distribution... all this can be done in makefiles.

XML/Ada uses the autotools, maybe you should have a look. I have myself
avoided the autotools because this is a pain to use on Windows.
