They provide a bootstrap script that downloads it, but i consider it better that we handle that on our own/infra for obvious reasons. Regarding host-waf it's not really a good idea, essentially you've got several major waf versions say 1.6.x, 1.8.x and soon 1.9.x which aren't too drop-in compatible. Even the mpv authors frowned upon upgrading the 1.8.12 preferred version with the latest 1.8.x (1.8.20) in their tracker (not from me, rather when looking about open issues/improvements). And then there's samba which has an extended waf (wafsamba) and are stuck on the 1.6.x series because of that. Regards.
