Description Vladimir Voskresensky 2010-05-07 12:10:05 UTC
Automatic mode of discovery uses Makefile as the first level choice and it confused me already several times when my projects were configure based or qmake based or cmake based. 
I think Automatic mode should use Makefile as the last choice instead and give preference to other scripts.
Other issue here is that when I obtain project from other developer => existing Makefile is incorrect in my env and configure/qmake/cmake should create the correct one for me

How about suppressing redundant "using"? It will make it even shorter
