GNU autotools (Score:2)
I built a few small-scale applications for distribution to different machines at my last job using GNU autoutils (autoconf and automake). I put needed modules (usually locally created modules, but could just as well be .pms extracted from module distributions) in a private lib/ directory, and used autoconf to preprocess my program, adding a use lib pragma and other things to insure all the right libraries got used. This would also be a nice way to avoid version conflicts.
