Probably quite a bit. Also, build2 is still missing some major features
(like support for building external build system modules, which is how
you would handle moc, etc). There is also virtually no documentation
(though the source code is well commented). So unless you feel really
adventurous, I would suggest waiting a few more months.

There are some pointers in a recent discussion on this topic:
