I dont think the description here really represents the situation. Both Autotools and Cmake are build configuration utilities not tool chain.

Would it not be better to describe the toolchains as Autotools->make; #used for the documentation builds Cmake->make; # now used for program and API documentation Cmake->ninja; # alternative program build (API documentation??)

The other part of the tool chain here is the compiler system called by the above to compile and libtool to construct the libraries??
