hm the 9fans link is dead, and neither 9fans[0] nor google[1] has the
entire thread archived
anyway, the main complaints:
- difficult to use by the user: --parameters
- difficult to use by the developper: m4, inconsistency, strange errors..
- huge, complex, slow, ugly..
- undebuggable huge generated files
- badly maintained, hacked together (see history[2])
- depends on perl and obscure gnu m4 features
