Bug Description
Operating system: Windows XP SP3
Vala version: 0.7.7
Valide version (or svn revision): 0.6.0
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. waf configure --prefix=c:/
2. waf
3. waf install
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The files should be installed to c:/bin, c:/lib and so on. Instead some
files are installed into ./_build_/../lib and ./_build_/../share
Waf: Entering directory `C:\build\

Please provide any additional information below.
If I start valide it cannot find its pixmaps and template files, so I
cannot create projects. At exit, it crashes (probably because it tries to
free the pixmap resources it hasn't acquired).

Seconds, for installation on Windows, instead of waf install, you should use the nsi
script in the package/win32 directory.
