    Use waf 2.1.4, revise, and drop Py2.6 builds.


Which python works the old way?

We now have two wafs.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 murray murray      9 Mar 13 02:24 waf -> waf-2.1.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 murray murray 108317 Mar 13 02:24 waf-2.1.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 murray murray 105631 Mar 13 02:24 waf-2.0.25

There is some magic that I don't know anything about that uses the old one 
if you have an old python.  Or something like that.
