Hmm.. I'm still not (very) convinced that this is a vital thing, but.. have you considered Hamster for the build-modules-from-scratch thing?
Points: it's 100% Lua, it does make-like things but with full Lua expressability, does not require make (can do build-all just by itself). Even has autotools-like feature (try if this compiles..)
What would need to be done: more modularity to the build environment / compiler config (currently everything's within one .lua file, and only certain OSes, compilers are supported).

One-size-fits-all config tools tend to do the job only where there's not much of a problem in the first place. Only a standard which *is* straightforwardI'd choose 'straightforward' over 'standard' any day...(like a well choosen minimal set of variables) will have a (different) working implementation for each of the different environments. The configuration should be easily accessible to a wide range of tools, thus not contain any language beyond very basic $(MAKE) syntax(so we don't end up like e.g. postgres' jdbc, which requires installationof a special ant version to build).
