I might try.

So far, libwnck looks pretty simple, except for the glib-mkenums which seems
to call a lot of shell commands.

What's exactly glib-mkenum used for? (I kind of guess from the name, but I
would like to have more background of the problem that it solves).
Does anyone has done this mkenum thing with waf already?
