What happens if the wscript doesn't recognise --libdir, does it silently
ignore it or throw an error?

If waf supports prefix and libdir and doesn't error on unknown options,
does it also support datadir/sysconfdir and so on?  We should pass as much
as possible.  The gnu_dirs module suggests yes, so you could copy what
autotools passes.
