I got this far, then got a slew of errors:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Quackle/quackle-0.95$ scons r=1
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
o alphabetparameters.o -c -O2 alphabetparameters.cpp
sh: o: not found
o bag.o -c -O2 bag.cpp
sh: o: not found
...

Und so weiter.  o: not found is a common theme.

Which is strange. bag.o and the rest were in the gzip and were
unpacked, but running scons as above deleted them. Then it couldn't
find them.

And I'm thinking that expecting an end user to compile programs is one
of the things limiting the spread of linux.
