autosetup , by Steve Bennett, is a build configuration tool based on Tcl.
autosetup solves the bootstrap problem by including a single-sourcefile version of Jim Tcl which will automatically be compiled and used if an appropriate Tcl interpreter isn't found.
Comment is welcome here.

I am working on a Fortran module based on autosetup. It is fairly easy actually to do that and should fit in well with my Ftcl project (http://ftcl.sf.net ). Much better than the batch file and shell scripts that I have now. (As the interfacing between Fortran and C has been formalized since the Fortran 2003 standard, I intend to revise the code to take advantage of that facility)
