I have talked with the dev that make Conan. They are huge SCons fans. From what 
I understand their customers are big on CMake, so they put effort into. I know 
I have thought of a similar feature in Parts. Conan seems like it would be a 
better option.

Subject: [Scons-dev] SCons and Conan: an issue for when GitHub issues are ready

JFrog seems to be putting a lot of support into Conan as a way of creating for 
C and C++ the equivalent of Cargo for Rust – integrated build and dependency 
management. They are emphasizing integration with CMake, which works for anyone 
using CLion as an IDE or CMake directly, but doesn't for anyone using Meson or 
SCons.

Given Conan is a Python-based system, it ought to be reasonable, though not a 
small project, to integrate SCons and Conan. (An awful lot easier that trying 
to integrate SCons and Dub for D builds, though.)

With C++2a likely to finally bring modules to C++, not to mention metaclasses, 
integrating SCons and Conan is likely to be a Good Thing™.
