no waf maintainer so i am putting this out here for

right, so mpv in their next release switched from the
mplayer inherited custom configure/gmake build system
to waf. good move? at first glance yes, as probably
anything is better then gnu autotools.
Hell no. Waf is far worse than autohell, and is in the same boat as gyp,
scons & jam in my book.
i thought autohell is considered the rock bottom :]
waf is at least not in m4 :]
Sadly enough autohell is the suck least of build infrastructure and
there is a lot of documentation and knowledge regarding its inner
workings. IMO not something that can be said about the other build
infrastructure whether it is relatively common or not.
It might not be m4, but it is python, that's a pretty heavy dependency
for build infrastructure.
