Is it only me or does "Every time" sounds like something that happens
often? As I see it you setup your build-environment with some revision
of waf and configure it so it does everything you need. When it does
that there's very little point in upgrading unless it improves
performance, or the requirements of the build process changes to
something the current waf version cannot handle, otherwise the same
version should work "forever". So if "every time" really means once
every second year, it wouldn't be that much, would it? There's
absolutly no reason to upgrade waf unless the features benefit the
project directly by plugging bugs exposed by the projects
configuration.
