Maven Has Some Nice Features, But...
How does Maven handle a mixed development world? How easy (if it can be
done at all) is it for Maven's features be used to manage a project that
contains Java, C/C++, tcl/tk, etc.?

If you are doing mostly C/C++ with some Java, you might want to look at
SCons. It's _way_better thank makefiles, and now has some knowledge of
Java, although nothing on the level of Maven. Presumably you could have
SCons call out to Maven or Ant for more complicated Java work.

sorry about the late answer just got back from vacation.
yeah I started on the plugin, but it was mostly for compiling small
shared libraries, jni stuff.
If you want to make something more complex you can probably write some
Maven goals using cpptasks from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ant-contrib/

Kasper created a plugin for dealing with native code but the goals of
Maven at the project's inception were targeted at Java. If you are using
5 different languages, one of which is Java, something other than Maven
might be more suitable.

Maven primary target is "java world".

I am not aware of any maven's plugins for C/C++ or any non java language.
So from this point of view you have no advantage if you use maven or ant.
You still need to write
your build system for you.
I guess that for more complex, highly customized builds it is simpler to use
Ant as it gives you
more flexibility.
