I think that waf's time certainly has come.  We need a new build system
(or at least a serious rework of the existing one) to fix the multiple
globals problem, and your work has shown a concrete way we can achieve
that.  

Given the fact that it builds on more platforms than our previous
system, and there are no other proposals (nor a proposal that we instead
re-invigorate the current systems), I don't think we should delay the
move of waf into the tree any longer.  

Any more issues can be addressed as folks use it during the stage 2
period, and before we decide about a switch to waf by default.  (Which,
at this point, I would also support). 

My only comment is that when I looked today at your waf-wip it still had
a couple of odd e-mail addresses as authors.
