No, because I'm not familiar enough with Waf and my code isn't
stabilized enough, so I put my custom extensions and tools in modules
custom_configure.py, Tools/texinfo.py...  However, I plan to do this
later.

My solution is good as long as it works for LilyPond; whether it's
useful for other systems will be considered

Nope; even if there is a naming clash, we can resolve it in our
sources :-)  The only issue I'm scared about is that Waf class
interfaces might be a moving target.

Best,
