You wouldn't want to have that in VCS, would you? Although you could
have the wrapper distribution in VCS.
Indeed.
It is just that Waf, and to a lesser extent SCons, have the great
ability to ship a complete build system as a single 80kb file
dependent
only on a Python installation. The trick used is to ship a Python
script that contains a compressed form of the system -- if it needs
extracting it does so. The extracted system can be deleted.
That would be wonderful to have. But Scons can assume Python to be
installed. Gradle only assumes Java to be installed.
