As far as I know they use the wide spreaded tools automake, autoconf, 
libtool and pkgconfig to prepare the build process. I'm sure most users 
noticed that executing ./configure takes a lot of time in many cases. It 
may be that 7.0 takes so much time because it is frequently testing 
whether strlen() exists or not. :-P
