Thanks a lot. I went through the syntax, it looks pretty elegant. How widely used is it? The main problem, I guess, is that it's not as easy to use as windows (and other platforms?) such as cmake (because of the python dep). That's one of the things I liked about cmake (but far from only). Also, what about out of source builds? I've heard about Waf before (mostly in a negative context), and maybe the python dep makes it a no go (though it's also alluring), but I'd still like to hear more if you care to provide. It's fun easily being able to do whatever python does. :) Does it create windows VS project files? or Makefiles in general? Also, what I don't like about cmake (which is an issue that seems to exist with Waf as well, but heck, I don't know enough about both to know if it's even true), is not being able to create a configure script so the source tarball will be dep free.
