waf apparently only appends a pkgconfig flag if it doesn't already exist in
the lib storage. Since our configure often checks for multiple libraries in
one call we want to keep the flags as is. This is especially important to
always keep stuff like -lm in the right place.
In Python sets are unordered, so iterating them after converting to a list
always leads to different results. The code iterated on them to collect all
the flags to pass to the compiler, and since the order of the flags changed,
waf would rebuild all of the C files. Seems like in Python 2 this worked as
expected by pure chance.
This commit stores the sets as lists, and converts them to sets when the set
operations are needed.
Fixes#363
Simply override the cprogram Task's __str__ method with our own implementation.
This is way easier on the eyes when compiling mpv during development, since
warnings are not pushed outside of your average screenful of content.
This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile
are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be
removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure).
You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`.
TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with
other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools).
For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md
and the cross compilation guide.

This is a squash of ~250 commits. Some of them are not by me, so here is the
deserved attribution:
- @wm4 contributed some Windows fixes, renamed configure to old-configure
and contributed to the bootstrap script. Also, GNU/Linux testing.
- @lachs0r contributed some Windows fixes and the bootstrap script.
- @Nikoli contributed a lot of testing and discovered many bugs.
- @CrimsonVoid contributed changes to the bootstrap script.
