SCons is cool and all -- I use it as a build tool for some of our products -- but it has a lot of quirks and takes a lot of getting used to. The autoconf-based build that we have now works well enough (for *nix) so IMO, switching to SCons is effort that would be better spent elsewhere. I don't see lots of upside to switching. -Barry
