Waf is a Python-based framework for configuring, compiling and
installing applications. Here are perhaps the most important features
of Waf:

* Automatic build order: the build order is computed from input
and output files, among others
* Automatic dependencies: tasks to execute are detected by hashing
files and commands
* Performance: tasks are executed in parallel automatically, the
startup time is meant to be fast (separation between configuration
and build)
* Flexibility: new commands and tasks can be added very easily
through subclassing, bottlenecks for specific builds can be
eliminated through dynamic method replacement
* Extensibility: though many programming languages and compilers
are already supported by default, many others are available as
extensions
* IDE support: Eclipse, Visual Studio and Xcode project generators
(waflib/extras/)
* Documentation: the application is based on a robust model
documented in The Waf book and in the API docs
* Python compatibility: cPython 2.4 to 3.4, Jython 2.5, IronPython,
and Pypy
