As I really don't know yet how to set up a proper build system, I'd say
this is good idea. Just what I needed actually :-)
So I'd have to add a Makefile.am in my plugin-dir like the other plugins
do now?

I remember I compiled some plugins some time ago on Windows, but
haven't tried waf yet. Will try it for my plugin.

I saw the reordering and I also saw that the waf-script had changed a
bit (and that adding my plugin still worked flawlessly).
Using autotools would mean run ./autogen.sh, right?
Are there any options for it as well for compiling just one plugin?

You mean editor->document->file_type->id, right?
I have:
if (nt->nmhdr.code == SCN_CHARADDED
&& editor->document->file_type->id == GEANY_FILETYPES_HAXE
&& (nt->ch == '.' || nt->ch == '('))
	haxe_completion(...);
return FALSE;
So I always return false, because in the docs it says:
Your callback function should return FALSE to allow Geany processing
the event as well. Should be OK?
BTW: Is it OK to put all conditions in that one if-clause?

I think some project-modifying code in geanyprj was removed recently. It
used to hide the standard projects menu, but doesn't do this anymore.
Also it uses its own config files and all. Anyway, will have a look ...
