[Geany-Devel] Linkage-Cleanup Build System Breakage

I' work on the Waf part but this will take at least two weeks as I'm
almost not on the PC during the next two weeks.

The Win32 nightlies are built using Waf, so fixing Waf will fix it all :).

I checked out codebrainz/wip/linkage-cleanup but got build errors with
autotools:

-----------snip-------------
tm_source_file.c:31:60: fatal error: ../src/pluginexport.h: No such file
or directory
 #include "../src/pluginexport.h" /* for GEANY_API_SYMBOL */
                                                            ^
compilation terminated.
Makefile:490: recipe for target 'tm_source_file.lo' failed
-----------snap-------------

src/pluginexport.h seems missing?

I don't mind which way to take.
