autowaf has no real shutdown functionality anyway. The automatic
shutdown function that could have been called wouldn't work anyway, as
it takes an argument.
The only reason it doesn't fail is that the top level wscript has no
shutdown handling and doesn't recurse to other scripts, so it is all
dead code.
It turns out that slightly older versions of ALSA create different "pretty"
port names for USB MIDI devices than slightly newer ones. The new versions
use names that match those seen on other platforms.
This means that to do port matching on Linux now requires a regexp
to match the possible alternatives. This matters much more for the LPP,
which has 3 input ports and 3 output ports, than it does for most devices
that have a single input and single output, and we can "find" the ports
just using simple string searching
Variables by these names are only used from the local wscript and when
running "waf configure", which already for other reasons only can run at
the top-level.
These variables are thus not mandatory and not used.
https://waf.io/book/ says
By default, the project name and version are set to noname and 1.0. To
change them, it is necessary to provide two additional variables in
the top-level project file
- and waf code inspection confirms that waf itself only will use the top
level APPNAME.
Also, the 'waf dist' comment doesn't seem relevant - especially after
this change - and is removed too.
(Note: libs/evoral/wscript and libs/temporal/wscript still use APPNAME
for other purposes.)

Some wscripts will use
bld.env['VERSION']
but that will also just use the value set in the top wscript.
