mapnik-devel,

Andreas has kindly maintained autotools scripts over the years for compiling 
Mapnik without SCons.

However, these have been unmaintained in trunk for over a year as Andreas is no 
longer actively using Mapnik.

I plan to remove these scripts now to avoid confusion, and in theie place add a 
 ./configure && make wrapper around the SCons scripts.

Dane
