Beginning of $.02

I've used ANT and make for our products.  Contrary to the hype, I don't
think ANT is any easier to use than make, and with the added versatility
of make, IMHO go with make.

If anyone tells you that the XML in ant is easier to code because it
doesn't have all those tabs, their full of it.

CVS, make, and rsh for multi-platform products.  Throw in some perl for
those real tough source translation stuff (like converting a C++ header
file with build info into a java module).
