At first I was only going to start a new personal project, and that can be
BSD only.

: system?  Autoconf (and automake/libtool) was, as originally intended, 
: designed to ease cross-platform portability.

I'm starting to wonder.  But if I want to work on my new project at home,
I'll need to come up with some kind of a system.  It'll be running on Linux
at work, and BSD at home.

Besides, it will need a professional looking/acting installation script when
it is done, and it will have to work on both platforms.
