I see your point.
The problem is on windows there is no standard build system like
autotools for linux, however. That's why if we want to make building on
this platform easy we should make it possible to build using more than
one build system. This way user can choose the one he is familiar with.

Yes, that forces us to maintain all of them :)

Yes, some users are familiar with it :)
