This is a current limitation of waf. The author stated that fixing it was on his TODO list, but that was over a year ago. We can either do weird stuff to avoid this limitation, ask him to fix this bug, or try to fix it ourselves. I personally favor the latter two options; I'm sick of doing wierd stuff just to fit within the limitations of a build system. > It's not for making the pictures available to Texinfo > formatters, as a simple -I srcdir (which we already have in current > build system IIRC) would do the job.

I don't want to have mirrortree in the new build system if we can avoid it. > Is it worth going on investigating this? I think so, so I'll > have a look. Waf will not be used for 2.14. If there are truly no translation issues that need addressing, then go ahead, but it'll be a few weeks or months before we'll try any switching. Oh, for that matter, we should probably re-sync dev/waf with master (to get the recent manual renamings), copy the wscript* files from dev/gperciva, then delete dev/gperciva. I'm not in any kind of rush to touch any of this until after 2.14, though.
