Hi,
Just a side remark, as a former user of that wiki:
The issue is that most of it is outdated: refers to obsolete methods, uses 
Python methods whereas there is now a SCons method, etc...
And even when it's not, readers don't trust fully what they see, because, well, 
how can they know if this is still up to date or not?
And this is caused by the very use of a wiki to hold/update the data.

Whereas if all of this could be integrated in the **official** doc, and as 
such, be maintained/updated to follow SCons evolution, it would bring much more 
value to it.
