Hi,
I don't know if that's of any interest for matplotlib developers,
but I added scripts to build matplotlib with numscons:
http://github.com/cournape/matplotlib/tree/scons_build
Not every configuration is supported yet, but I can successfully build
matplotlib on Linux with gtk or wx backends. It only adds 3 files + one
configuration example, and does not touch any other file.
The advantage of numscons over distutils is automatic dependency
handling (no need to rm -rf build to get accurate build), easy compiler
flags customization, parallel build, etc... There are some instructions
in setupscons.py.
It is still experimental (I have not implemented check for QT, as well
as windows, macosx and qt backends), but it seems to work well. I will
add mac os x and windows backends soon (I started this to debug issues
on 64 bits version of matplotlib),
cheers,
David
