The only things I can think of are some refactoring that Dirk and I had 
discussed such as:
   - using "include <OpenSG/OSGxxx.h> for including files in headers. 
           (scons compiles everything against the tree that it is 
actively installing,
             so we can use the same file paths as users will need to use)
   - moving some source around in the tree. 
                 (the build.info files now let all the code move freely 
in the tree
                   without having to change the build)
   - adding test suites
   - adding an examples directory and starting to put things into it

What it really comes down to for me is that I don't want something I do 
to break your code.  I would feel very bad if you lost time on my 
account and I want to avoid it.  I want to make sure that the build is 
never broken and as long as there are multiple builds this could be a 
problem.

I don't think we can replace the autoconf build until the scons one gets 
more testing, but hopefully Dirk's e-mail will lead people to start 
testing it and filing tickets about any bugs they find. :)
