Pjproject as a project is really meant to be integrated within other 
stuff. The original build system covers a vast assortment of platforms 
(Linux, Windows, iOS, OSX, Symbian, Android, so on) and hasn't evolved 
that much as time has gone on. Are they open to changes to it? Sure.

Do I think discounting it on that basis alone is warranted? In a perfect 
world where we had more options I would be all for it but with so few 
(3, including pjsip) I don't think that alone is a strong enough reason. 
This is one of the trade-offs that I referred to earlier, unfortunately. 
There is no perfect option.

Cheers,
