Thanks a lot for saving us from the horrors of redland.
But: I just did a fresh svn checkout of http://svn.drobilla.net/lad/trunk
and tried a top-level build (./waf configure && ./waf build) which fails miserably
complaining about:

  Waf: Entering directory `/Development/drobillard/build'

 ... and so on. Is this expected?
