I've subscribed to the SCons mailing list. The SCons community has
people who got fed up with it and started their own R&D. It seems
that the SCons Python 1.5 limitation is a serious one, as developers
generally only know Python >= 2.2. Waf is the offering of a fellow
who clearly thinks OO is important in a build system for some reason.

A quick eval of waf....
* Its dependency checker is broken.
/usr/include is not checked for speed.
* Swig support is broken.
* no real multi platform support, it is all do it yourself.
* out-of-source builds is kind of broken.
* proper out-of-source builds needs the wscript to be set up
with variants (good idea, but badly done).
* build dir creates stubs for all subdirectories, not only
those in build (yuck).
* no listing of tasks (yuck).
* you are always forced to write a configure function (yuck).
* WAY too verbose (yuck).
* badly documented.
In summary, thanks. But, no thanks. With all those problems I did not
even bother checking the speed.
