I would prefer waf for the sake of consistency, since it's already being used 
by the bootloader. It's nice that you can commit the single-file and avoid the 
external dependency for building. Even if we commit it twice in two different 
directories, it's not a big problem (most people will even ignore the existence 
of any of them, since they will be mainly used by PyInstaller's developers).
