Comment 5 for bug 687864

I don't NEED autotools. Autotools worked for me. If waf (with cache) works then waf
is also cool.

BTW: your configure.ac looks painful and full of struggling, like the old ones I was
writing. Using data in the source tree is not a good idea with autotools. :-)

Apparently with waf we also have to install the package to somewhere first. Did I get
it wrongly?

I always do this:
./waf configure --prefix=$PWD/_inst_
./waf install
