         That's a hard question; it depends on what you're building.

         One company I know uses "ant" because they're doing
         Java builds; many, many companies use MS Dev Studio
         project files and build using "msdev /make filename.prj"
         to build the projects (which is a mechanism I don't like);
         many use make or gmake.

         If you had the source on your machine, how would you
         build it? That often leads you to the answer to your question.
