Some mpv builds identify with e.g. "mpv b'0.3.3' ". The version looks
like str() was called on a Python byte string. I couldn't reproduce it
on my machine (I tried with both Python 2 and 3), so I'm not exactly
sure what's going on here, but I'm hoping this commit does fix it.
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.
