does this mean that 'make' will be eventually dropped? oh,
noes...
One idea I had, which is easily done in SCons, is to
auto-generate
makefiles for each platform.
Interesting idea, we could get the same from cmake, why using
scons instead?
Could we also generate VisualStudio project files?
Will that work for DM make?
These generated makefiles can then be shipped as part of the
source distribution, but they need not (and probably should
not!) be in the git tree.
They should probably be in git, unless we teach everyone how to
use scons.
Problem with git is obviously, that people will always forget to
update the makefiles. Maybe we can let the auto-tester compare
the generated files.
